IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6134 of 2003 RAM PRASAD SINHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4 28/8/2009 Counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner had died on 14.4.2005 and therefore he should be given four weeks time to file substitution petition. This writ application came to be filed in the year 2003 and was dismissed for default by order dated 21.5.2004. Thereafter, this writ application was restored by order dated 29.9.2004 and has remained pending for the next five years. If the petitioner had died on 14.4.2005, the period of four years was good enough for substituting his heirs. It is not the rule of law that as and when heirs of the deceased writ petitioner would like to get impleaded, this Court must allow such impleadment. That being so, this application has become incompetent and is hereby dismissed. Abhay Kumar (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
