What did the court decide?
The notice issued to the petitioner was received back unserved with the report that he died on 02.02.2014, and the Registry reported that his wife Nachhatar Kaur refused to accept the notice; these circumstances indicate that the petitioner/his LRs are no longer interested in pursuing the petition.
