JUDGMENT
This is an appeal against conviction. The appellant was convicted for the offences punishable under Sections 279, 201 and 304 A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. Both imprisonment and fine form part of the sentence.
2. Death of the appellant was reported as early as on
26.08.2021. In terms of the direction by this Court to collect and furnish details of the legal heirs of the appellant, the Station House Officer, Oachira Police Station would report that his legal heir, one Sreejith lives in Iringalakkuda, but his whereabouts could be gather. Although, three years elapse after reporting the death of the appellant, nobody has come forward to prosecute the appeal. In the said circumstances, records are consigned to the record room in terms of the law laid down by this Court in Pazhani v. State of Kerala [2017(1) KLT 341]. The trial court is directed to take steps for realisation of the fine amount from the assets left by the appellant, if any. Sd/- P.G. AJITHKUMAR, JUDGE Dxy
