WP(C) 5567/2003 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE K. MERUNO Heard Mr. A Dasgupta, learned counsel for the petitioner. No representation on b ehalf of the State respondents. By this writ petition, the petitioner is claiming for ex-gratia payment for the death of his son, who was shot dead by some unidentified gunmen on 30-04 -1995 at around 8.30 P.M. in Bijni Town-Railgate. Under the provision of the Office Memorandum dated 06-06-1996 issued und er Memo No. RR-25/92/126, which has been issued pursuant to the notification dat ed 8th April, 1992 vide memo No.ABP.181/91/65. However, by another order dated 22-06-2004 vide Memo No. ARP-121-92/pd-V/136 has been issued repealing the earli er notifications. Since the prayer of the petitioner in the present writ petition is pursu ant to the notification dated 8th April, 1992 which has also been repealed by an order dated 22-06-2004, the prayer made so far in this writ petition cannot be granted in view of the order/notification dated 8th April, 1992 which has been r epealed. Since new order/notification dated 22-06-2004 has come into force now, t his writ petition has become infructuous. However, in view of the new notificati on/order dated 22-06-2004, the petitioner may approach the concerned authority for the relief(s) that has been provided in the new notifica tion/order dated 22-06-2004. The respondent authorities shall consider such an application that may b e submitted by the petitioner pursuant to the new Notification/Order dated 22-0 6-2004. With the above direction, this writ petition stands disposed of.
