IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6169 of 2005 SHRI KRISHNA NANDAN SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 24.02.2009 Counsel for the petitioner submits that writ petitioner, licensee under the Public Distribution System (P.D.S.) system has died and his wife seeks permission to be substituted in his place. In the opinion of this Court, the licence given to the petitioner himself being neither transferable nor inheritable in any manner, the right to sue does not survive and consequently the prayer for substitution of the wife of the writ petitioner being misconceived is hereby rejected. That being so, this writ application has become infructuous and the same is dismissed. Bibhash (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
