Bakul Sarmah v. Union of India and 5 Ors

ORDER

05.01.2024 Heard Shri S Dasgupta, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Shri A Barkataki, learned Standing Counsel, Railway. When this matter was listed on the last occasion i.e. 20.02.2023, Shri Dasgupta, learned counsel had apprised this Court that the petitioner was expired and sought for 2 weeks time to enable him to take appropriate steps. It is seen that till date, no steps have been taken for substitution of the legal heirs of the petitioner. Apart from the aforesaid fact which leads this Court to come to a conclusion that the matter has been abated, the agreement in question was pursuant to a license in the name of the deceased-petitioner and Page No.# 3/3 the license was for a period of 5 years i.e. from 01.11.2010 to 31.10.2015 which is also over long back. There is no document annexed in this writ petition filed in the year 2018 regarding extension of the agreement. Under the aforesaid circumstances, this Court is of the opinion that there is no existing issue to be adjudicated and accordingly, the writ petition is closed.
