(Oral) 1. This appeal has been preferred against the judgment of learned Single Judge to treat `9% Relief Bonds, 1987' issued to the respondent to be under `10% Relief Bonds Scheme, 1993' and further directing difference to be released to respondent. 2. Case of the writ petitioner was that he applied for `9% Relief Bonds, 1987' on 10.3.1993. On that very day, 10% Relief Bonds Scheme were introduced. Though the scheme was effective from 15.3.1993, all persons who had invested money in the Scheme from 15.3.1993 onwards were held entitled to get the payment under the new scheme. Since this prayer of the respondent was not accepted, the writ petition is filed. 3. Learned Single Judge held that since new scheme had come into force and other persons were entitled to get payment under the new LPA No. 213 of 2008 (O&M) 2 scheme, the respondent was entitled to that benefit. Accordingly, the writ petition was allowed. 4. We have heard the learned counsel for the appellant. 5. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that respondent has died during the pendency of the appeal and the amount involved is less than 25,000/- as per his information. No other case of this nature is pending, as per his information. 6. In view of the fact insignificant amount is involved, the respondent has died and this is an isolated case, without going into merits, we do not find any ground to interfere with the view taken by learned Single Judge. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal, leaving the question of law open. (ADARSH KUMAR GOEL) JUDGE 23.11.2009 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) mk JUDGE
