Ajay Mohan Goel, Judge (Oral)
In the present case, the petitioner is no more. Despite reasonable opportunities having been granted to learned counsel who was representing the petitioner, no steps have been taken to bring on record legal representatives of the petitioner, therefore, the petition is dismissed as abated, so also the pending miscellaneous applications, if any.
