NO.1729 of 1993 in/and CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.8306 of 1987 DATE OF DECISION: December 14, 2010 Chander Parkash .....Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH PRESENT: None for the petitioner. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr.DAG, Haryana, for the State. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. This writ petition was adjourned sine-die and was directed to be revived after the decision of Special Leave Petition(C) No. 6198 of 1993. While adjourning the case, the Division Bench of this Court has observed that petition cannot be disposed of in view of Special Leave Petition filed against the earlier judgment rendered in CWP No.8306 of 1987. S.L.P. (C) No. 6198 of 1993 was converted to Civil Appeal No.3362 of 1993 and had been decided on 3.12.1997. This case perhaps could not be taken up for hearing because of some fire incident in the old record room. It is now CIVIL MISC. NO.1729 of 1993 in/and CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.8306 of 1987 -2- reported that CWP No. 8306 of 1987 has already been disposed of by the Division Bench on 4.2.1993. The petition was allowed and the impugned order directing premature retirement of respondent No.4 in the said case which was earlier withdrawn and orders of reversion etc. were quashed. Mr. Rathee today points out that the petitioner in this case has already superannuated and even has expired. No one appears to represent the petitioner. The writ petition, accordingly, would abate on account of death of the petitioner and it is so ordered. December 14,2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) monika JUDGE
