When the writ petition is taken up for hearing today, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as the learned Additional Government Pleaders appearing for the respondents submit that the petitioner died on 23.11.2014. However, the legal heirs of the petitioner seems to have not come forward to represent the petitioner so far by way of impleading and to agitate the issue raised in this writ petition. Therefore, the learned counsel for the respondents seek dismissal of this writ petition as abated.
