Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has no up-to-date instruction to pursue the present litigation. Learned Standing Counsel submits that after long lapse of time nothing survives for adjudication in the present petition,

Considering the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, the writ petition is disposed of as not pressed granting liberty to the petitioner to revive the same within sixty days for any surviving cause of action.
