When the matter is taken up, learned standing counsel for the respondent - Corporation produced the copy of office order dated 29.05.2010 whereunder the petitioner was promoted as Record Tracer. He also placed before this Court the photocopy of the death certificate issued by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation evidencing death of the petitioner on 17.01.2012. However, no steps are taken to bring the legal representatives on record.

Since the cause of action itself does not survive for adjudication, as the petitioner was granted promotion and later died, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Pending Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ P. NAVEEN RAO, J Date:30.01.2020 KH
