M. Sudame, adv for petitioner Mrs. U. A. Patil, Adv. for Respondent no.1 Mr. R.M.Bhangde, adv for respondent no.4 CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK & P.B. VARALE, JJ. DATE : JULY 04, 2011. Shri Sudame, the learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner has expired during the pendency of the writ petition and even on issuance of communications, the L.Rs. of petitioner have not instructed the learned counsel for the petitioner in the said matter. We feel that with the death of the petitioner the cause for filing this petition would not survive as by this petition the petitioner had sought a writ for quashing and setting aside the order dated 2.2.1996 issued by the respondents no.1 , 2 and 3 and appointing respondent no.4 as Assistant Professor in Agricultural Economics on probation for a period of two years. By the other prayer clause the petitioner had sought a declaration that the petitioner was entitled to be selected and appointed on the post of Assistant Professor. The principle of actio personalis moritur cum persona will apply to the facts of this case. Hence the writ petition is disposed of with no order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE SMP
