WPSS 5265/2001 (Old No. 33052 of 1995) Hon’ble P.C. Verma, J. Heard Sri Sharad Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri H.M. Raturi, learned counsel for the respondent No. 1. Petitioner- Kundan Lal has died during the course of pendency of the writ petition. Even if the writ petition is allowed, the payment of back wages does not arise. However, only right of the successor is affected if the writ petition is dismissed i.e. relating to claim of the appointment under the Dying-in-Harness Rules. Therefore, the respondent No. 2- committee of Management is directed to consider any eligible son or daughter of the deceased- petitioner to appoint under the Dying-in-Harness Rules. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. (P.C. Verma, J.) 25.03.2008 P.Singh
