Braj Lal Patel v. State of Chhattisgarh
Case brief
What is this about?
Two Chhattisgarh HC writ petitions (WPS Nos. 8085 and 10482 of 2019) by a retired Assistant Conservator of Forest against the State forest authorities were disposed of as abated on 14.01.2026 after the sole petitioner's death, with no instructions from his legal representatives; no merits decision, no statutes or precedents cited.
What did the court decide?
Both writ petitions stand disposed of having abated, as the sole petitioner in both petitions died and there was no instruction from his legal representatives (LRs) to further prosecute the matters. ¶32
