All residents of village- Manohar Chhapara, P.S. Motipur, district- Muzaffarpur. ........ Respondents. ***** 04- 16.10.2008 Mr. Rashid Alam for the petitioners, Mr. Satyadeo Kumar, learned Standing Counsel No.12 for respondent nos.1 to 4, Mr. Obaidur Rahman for respondent no.5, and Mr. Farooq Moazzam for respondent no.10 are present. Learned counsel for respondent no.10 brings to my notice her affidavit, wherein it is stated that petitioner no.1 (Anzar Ahmad) died in the year 2002, petitioner no.2 (Ansar Ahmad) died 2 on 20.11.2003, and respondent no.6 (Zaki Hasan) died on 5.4.2004. Copies of this affidavit were served on learned counsel for the petitioners on 19.9.2008, and on learned counsel for respondent no.5 on 22.9.2008. No rejoinder to the same or any substitution application has been filed with respect to the dead parties. It appears to me that the impugned order has become final in so far as they are concerned. Allowing it to continue with respect to the remaining respondents may result in inconsistent judgments. The present writ petition cannot proceed in their absence. In that view of the matter, this writ petition is dismissed. (S K Katriar, J.) S.K.Pathak/
