O R D E R

The petitioner is stated to have passed away on 30.11.2021 and notwithstanding that the matter has come up for hearing a dozen times thereafter, there has been no attempt to bring on record any legal heir to pursue the matter and the learned counsel for the petitioner has only been seeking adjournments repeatedly. Even today, the same request is made.

2. I am not inclined to accede to the request made today for the aforesaid reason and dismiss the Writ Petition for non-prosecution. However, in the interests of justice, if the legal heirs of the petitioner are inclined to revive the Writ Petition, they may file a petition for the same, however, within a period of eight (8) weeks from today. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar (CS-II) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar sl To
