IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.462 of 1991 Date of Decision: 02.12.2010 Dr. S.P.Bhattarcherjee ........Petitioner Versus The State of Haryana and another .......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI Present: Mr. Varun Madaan, Advocate for Mr. Gaurav Singh Hooda, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Kulbir Narwal, Additional Advocate General, Haryana. Mr. S.C.Sibal, Senior Advocate with Mr. Varinder Rana, Advocate for respondent No.2-University. ****** RANJAN GOGOI, J. (ORAL) It is submitted by Mr. Sibal, learned counsel for the respondent-University that the petitioner has died during the pendency of the present proceedings. Considering the relief prayed for in the writ petition and taking into account the fact that even if the deceased petitioner is found eligible for promotion, he may not be entitled to pay in the promotional post, on the principle “no work no pay”, I am of the view that the writ petition should be closed. The absence of the legal heirs of the petitioner is another fact that has been taken into consideration by the Court in arriving at the above conclusion. Civil Writ Petition No.462 of 1991 -2- The writ petition, therefore, is ordered to be treated as closed. December 02, 2010 (RANJAN GOGOI) Gagan JUDGE
