IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2857 of 2004 BASUDEV PANDEY Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- 2 27.01.2009 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the respondents-Union of India and State of Bihar is present. During the pendency of this writ application, the petitioner is said to have died on 17.2.2007 and is sought to be substituted by his wife Most. Aspati Kuer. In view of the fact that the order granting pension under the Freedom Fighter’s Pension Scheme dated 19th of June, 2003 (Annexure-7) clearly records that the deceased-writ petitioner had no eligible dependent, the prayer for substitution by his wife is wholly misconceived as no cause of action has survived. Even otherwise, there would be no merit in the cause brought before this Court. Accordingly, this writ application is dismissed. Bibhash (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
