Holding
The appeal is dismissed as abated due to the death of the sole appellant.
Summary
Narain Das filed a criminal appeal (No. 2136 of 1983) against the State of U.P. No counsel appeared on his behalf. The State was represented by A.G.A. An office report dated 30‑04‑2026 confirmed that the sole appellant, Narain Das, died on 06‑09‑2025. Under established legal principles, the death of a sole appellant causes the pending appeal to abate. Consequently, the High Court held that the appeal could no longer proceed. The court therefore dismissed the appeal as abated, without addressing any substantive issues.
