S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 4794/2007 Indra Kumar Sharma Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. Date of Order :: 24.4.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. S.N. Trivedi, for the petitioner/s. Mr. B.L. Bhati, Dy. Govt. Counsel. ... This petition for writ is preferred in the name of a dead person for claiming his post retiral benefits. The writ petition was filed on 13.7.2007 and the petitioner Sh. Indra Kumar died on 29.12.2000. The person who has signed the affidavits is younger brother of late Sh. Indra Kumar and he is pursuing cause of late Sh. Indra Kumar by claiming himself his sole legal representative. No petition for writ in the name of a dead person can be entertained. On merits too no relief can be granted to Sh. Prabhat Kumar Sharma as there is nothing on record to prove that he was ever nominated by late Sh. Indra Kumar to receive his post retiral benefits. No succession certificate is also available on record on basis of that it can be held that Sh. Prabhat Kumar is successor of late Sh. Indra Kumar or is his sole legal representative. The writ petition, for the reasons mentioned above, is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal
