The District Educational Officer, in his counter-affidavit has pointed out that the petitioner died on 9-3- 2000 during the pendency of this writ petition and his son solicited appointment on compassionate basis and accordingly his son was appointed. It is therefore, pleaded that the cause in the writ petition does not survive. When the matter was called on 15-6-2010 none appeared and when the matter was called again on 24-6-2010 it was adjourned to enable to take necessary steps in view of the averments contained in the counter-affidavit filed by the District Educational Officer. On 1-7- 2010 also at the request, the matter has been adjourned by one week. No representation is made when the matter is called today. In view of the averments contained in the counter-affidavit disclosing that the writ petitioner has died more than ten years back and since no steps are taken, it is obvious that the cause in the writ petition has abated and the writ petition deserves to be dismissed and accordingly it is dismissed, but however, without costs. __________________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J 8th July, 2010 GRR
