On 29.11.2017, learned counsel for the petitioner had stated that the petitioner had expired in the first week of November, 2017 and he would need time to obtain instructions from the legal heirs of the deceased petitioner as to whether they wished to pursue the present petition any further. At the request of the counsel for the petitioner, the matter was adjourned to 16.01.2018 and thereafter to today. 2.

Counsel for the respondents states that in all this duration, no steps have been taken by the legal heirs of the deceased petitioner to file an application for impleadment in the present petition. He therefore states that the present petition has been rendered infructuous and may be dismissed. W.P.(C) 3218/2017

Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed in default. HIMA KOHLI, J REKHA PALLI, J SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 rkb W.P.(C) 3218/2017
