3. Today, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that he has been unable to get in touch with his client for quite some time and has been informed that he has passed away but the heirs have not contacted him.

4. In view thereof, once the writ petitioner is no more, the petition has become infirm and unfit to proceed. Moreover, if there is no contact and the heirs are also not vigilant, the Court is left with no option but to dispose off the matter.

5. However, the heirs shall be at liberty to move before the appropriate forum, in accordance with law, if any grievance in terms of the reliefs sought for in the present writ petition remains. (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J) Anjani/- AFR/NAFR U
