According to the petitioner, even names of the persons who were dead were included in the said list. From time to time pursuant to directions given by this Court affidavits have been filed on behalf of the respondents which disclose that the list has been prepared on the basis of the scheme prepared by the Central Government in the year 2002 and the benefit of 2 the said scheme has been given to the persons who comply with the essential conditions mentioned in the said scheme. Insofar as inclusion of ineligible persons in the list is concerned, assurance was given on behalf of the Collector on 11.2.2009 that all the names of dead persons have been removed from the list. Mrs. Dangre, learned Additional Government Pleader for respondent nos.1 to 4 and Mr. Mishra, learned counsel for respondent no.5 have submitted that the scheme prepared by the Central Government in the year 2002 is under reconsideration and the Central Government has called for the suggestions from the State Governments and the Union Territories.

In view of the above position, the grievances made in the present petition no more survive. The principal grievance made in the petition has been already redressed.
