It is really a sorry state of affairs that the State has not made available the papers of this case to its counsel nor has given any instructions. This matter has been adjourned from time to time on the request of the counsel for the petitioner. Despite of the fact that sufficient long time is granted, the petitioner's counsel has no instructions in this case. In view of this fact, this Special Civil Application is dismissed for non-prosecution. Rule discharged. It is a case where the respondent has been dragged into litigation by none other than a welfare state. The respondent has faced agony of the pendency of this writ petition for all these years. Not only this, the matter has been adjourned from time to time on the request of counsel for the petitioner. In view of this fact, it is a fit case where the respondent should be compensated with costs of the litigation. Order accordingly. The petitioner is directed to pay Rs.1000/- to the respondent by way of costs of this petition. ********* zgs/-
