ORDER

The petitioner as well as the sole legal heir being his son, are stated to have passed away. Neither the learned Counsel for the petitioner nor the

learned Standing Counsel are aware of the exact date of demise and as regards who survives, they state, on the basis of their enquiries, that it is the daughterin-law of the petitioner.

2. In light of the above circumstances, I see no purpose in keeping this writ petition pending any further. It is made clear that in the event there are any proceedings consequent upon the impugned proceedings, liberty is granted to the person to whom such proceedings are directed, to revive this writ petition or challenge future proceedings, if any, in accordance with law. 01.07.2022 nst Index : Yes / No Speaking Order / Non Speaking Order
