1.# Learned AAG, Punjab has filed a status report, which is taken on record. As per the report, compliance of the order dated 06.05.2025 passed by this Court has been duly effected.

¶17

2.# The status report reveals that the SHO, Police Station Bhawanigarh, was directed to verify the legal representatives of the deceased appellant. During the course of inquiry, the statement of Rajinder Singh (grandson of appellant Bhagwan Kaur) was recorded.

have expired. Rajinder Singh stated that he is the only brother and has three sisters. He further stated that after the death of his grandfather, his grandmother started living with his grandfather9s brother Bachan Singh, from whom Surjit Singh was born. Surjit Singh expired about 40 years ago. Surjit Singh is survived by a son, Sukhdeep Singh, and a daughter, Paramjit Kaur. He also stated that his grandmother, Bhagwan Kaur, had filed a case before this Court against Sukhdeep Singh for rejection of mutation of land, for which the power of attorney was in the name of his mother, Nachhattar Kaur. His grandmother expired on 16.06.2006. However, the said dispute was amicably resolved by an agreement in the year 2003, and in view of that settlement, he stated that the family members do not wish to pursue the present appeal.

¶22

3.# From the above factual position, it is evident that not only has the original appellant expired long back, but the legal representatives have also expressly conveyed their unwillingness to pursue the present appeal, as the dispute already stands settled between the parties.

¶23

4.# In such circumstances, the present appeal is dismissed for nonprosecution, with liberty to the legal representatives of the appellants to seek its revival in case any cogent cause of action survives.

¶24

5.# Pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of.
