Ms.Anulata Saundankar i/b Ms.Gauri Godse, for the Petitioner. None for the Respondent. .......... CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. Date : 29th June, 2011. P.C.: 1 It is pointed out that the sole Applicant i.e. Respondent before this Court has expired. It is he who has filed the Misc. Application No. 43/1996 which came to be dismissed in default on 09.09.1998 by the District Judge, Palghar. The impugned order arises out of the restoration application of the said Misc. Application. The restoration application having been allowed, this Writ Petition is filed. 2 However, after the order passed on 13.04.2009, nothing could proceed in the lower Appellate Court because of the death of the sole Applicant. It is clear that the proceedings have abated on account of the death of the sole Applicant and no steps have been taken by anybody to proceed with the same. 3 In these circumstances and when the main proceedings have abated, nothing survives in this petition and it is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs. (S.C. Dharmadhikari, J)
