IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1236 of 2001 SANJAY KUMAR AGRAWAL & ORS. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 5. 22.08.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as also the counsel for Respondent Nos. 5,6 and 7. 2. Petitioners herein are the sons of Jitendra Kumar Agrawal who was opposite party in Revision Case No. 1261 of 1982/ 344 of 1998 which was filed by Suresh Chandra Agrawal against their father Jitendra Kumar Agrawal and others. During the pendency of the said revision application Jitendra Kumar Agrawal left for his heavenly abode on 17.02.2000 but without substituting him in the revision case order dated 7.7.2000, Annexure-7 was passed disposing of the revision application. As the order dated 7.7.2000, Annexure-7 was passed behind the back of their father after he had already left for his heavenly abode, petitioners sought review of the orders dated 7.7.2000, Annexure-7 on the ground that after the death of the father without notice to his heirs and legal representatives order dated 7.7.2000, Annexure-7 could not have been passed, as such, should be reviewed but the request was refused under order dated 13.1.2001, which is contained in Annexure-9 to this application. 3. From perusal of the order dated 13.1.2001, Annexure-9 itself it is evident that the earlier order dated 7.7.2000, Annexure-7 was passed after the death of Sri Jitendra Kumar Agrawal as also without notice to his heirs and legal representatives, in the circumstances, both the orders dated 7.7.2000 and 13.1.2001, - 2 - Annexures-7 and 9 are set aside and the matter is remitted back to the Director, Consolidation, Bihar, Patna to hear the revision application afresh after expunging the name of Jitendra Kumar Agrawal from the array of parties by substituting the petitioners herein in his place. Parties are directed to appear before the Director, Consolidation, Bihar on 22nd September, 2008. As the matter has remained pending in this Court for over six years, Director, Consolidation is requested to dispose of the said revision application as early as possible, in any case within a period of three months from the date of appearance of the parties before the Director, Consolidation, Bihar. 4. This writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
