On 20.3.2009, this Court directed the petitioner herein to take steps to bring on record the LRs of the deceased-2nd respondent. However, no such steps have been taken till date. Sri.B.Narayana Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, would submit that despite his having addressed a letter to the petitioner as early as on 13.11.2008 no reply was forthcoming, nor did the petitioner herein approach him for filing a petition to bring the LRs of the 2nd respondent-workman on record. Since the writ petition stands abated as against 2nd respondent- workman, and the 1st respondent is merely a proforma party, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. ______________________________ ( RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J ) 17th February, 2010.
