CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIRINDER AGGARWAL

Present:

None for the appellant.

Mr. P.S. Saini, Advocate for respondent No.1.

Mr. Ved Parkash, Sr. DAG, Haryana for respondents No.3 to 5.(in CWP-16483-2005) **** VIRINDER AGGARWAL, J. (Oral) 1.

The sole appellant has died. Counsel for the appellant has sought time to implead the LRs and one last opportunity was granted to the appellant vide Order dated 13.02.2026. Today, neither any application has been filed nor anybody has come present on behalf of the appellant. It seems that LRs of the appellant are not interested in pursuing the appeal as well as Civil Writ Petition. 2.

In such circumstances, no useful purpose would be served by keeping both the cases on the docket, indefinitely. POONAM 2026.04.18 00:47 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
