Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG, Haryana for the State. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner, who was working in the office of the Superintendent of Police, Yamunanagar, being aggrieved against the action of the respondents in initiating inquiry/ second inquiry, has filed this writ petition to impugn the same. While issuing notice of motion, the further proceedings in the departmental inquiry against the petitioner were ordered to be stayed on 31.03.2010. The inquiry, thus, could not be completed. Today, the counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has died on 3.6.2011. Once the petitioner is no more, it may not be possible for the respondents to continue the inquiry proceedings. In view of the nature of relief claimed in the writ petition, no cause would be left for the LRs to pursue and thus, there may not be a need to implead the LRs. The writ petition, in my view, would abated. It is so ordered. July 12, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH) monika JUDGE
