JUDGMENT
JUDGMENT NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.--The appellants were granted leave to appeal by an order of this Court passed on 9-10-1974. The appeal has come up for hearing today, after over 11 years. In the meanwhile, the respondent Kazi Inayat Ahmad died at Lahore on 31-10-1977. No steps have, however, been taken by the appellants to bring his legal representatives on record so far. "An application to bring on record the legal representatives of an appellant or a respondent, who has died or suffered a change of status, shall be made within 90 days of such occurrence: The appellants have not, as mentioned already, submitted any application to bring the legal representatives of the respondent on the record, although this should have been done by them within 90 days of 31-10-1977. The result is that this appeal has become improperly constituted and cannot proceed as it is. No good ground is shown for extending the time to allow the legal representatives of the deceased-respondent to be brought on the record after 8 years of his demise. This appeal, accordingly, stands dismissed. Order accordingly. No orders as to costs.
