- 1 - VPH IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION No. 1296 OF 1992 Sahebrao Ananda Patil .. Petitioner Vs. Walmik Ramchandra Pawar & Ors. ..Respondents None for the Petitioner & the Respondents. CORAM : R. C. CHAVAN, J. DATED : APRIL 28, 2010. P.C. : . In this petition the Court ordered issuance of notice to the petitioner, since the counsel for the petitioner had expired. As per the endorsement dated 23rd June 2006 it appears that notice issued to the sole petitioner in respect of death of his counsel has been served as per the bailiff’s report. Again on 30th September 2008 this Court ordered issuance of notice to the petitioner as his advocate had expired. As per bailiff’s report, this notice was stated to have been received back unserved with the report ‘dead’. The death certificate of the petitioner - 2 - had also been enclosed with the report of the bailiff. In view of this, there is no question of issuing any further notice to the petitioner or waiting for service of notice. Since the counsel has expired and the petitioner too was found to have died, there is little that this Court can do. The writ petition therefore, abates and is accordingly disposed of. [R. C. CHAVAN, J.]
