- 07.12.2020
This matter is taken up through Video conferencing because of COVID-19 pandemic.
Heard learned Additional Government Advocate.
The order-sheet reveals that the appellant no.2-Laisa Kanhar has died earlier and on 19.10.2020 as far as this accused is concerned, the appeal has already abated. We have received intimation from the Superintendent of Police, Phulbani that the surviving appellant-Hari Kanhar has also died on 14.4.2014 at District Headquarter Hospital, Phulbani. A copy of the inquest report has also been forwarded to us by Mr. G.N. Rout, learned Additional Standing Counsel.
Since both the appellants are dead and none of their legal representative is coming forward to pursue the appeal, this appeal abates.
Accordingly, the CRLA is disposed of.
The L.C.R. be returned back to the trial court forthwith.
As restrictions due to COVID-19 are continuing, learned counsel for both the parties may utilize the soft copy of this order available in the High Court’s website or print out thereof at par with certified copies in the manner prescribed, vide Court’s Notice No.4587, dated 25.03.2020.
