Mr.Pradyuman Singh, for the respondents with Mr.Jhabbar Singh, Regional Astt. Director Agg. Marketing, Jodhpur, (Officer-incharge) <><><> BY THE COURT This is an intra-court appeal filed by the petitioner of Writ Petition No. 3764/1997 ( Mahendra Singh Raghav Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.) under Section 18 of the Rajasthan High Court Ordinance against an order dated 26.02.2002 passed by the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition No. 3764/1997. It is stated on behalf of the respondents that the appellant Mahendra Singh Raghav has retired and unfortunately expired during the pendency of the appeal. Since the appellant has expired and is no more in service, this appeal is rendered infructuous for all practical purposes because all the reliefs which he had claimed in the writ petition and now in the appeal being personal to him, cannot be granted on account of his death. We, therefore, do not wish to go into any question except to dismiss the appeal as having abated. The appeal is, therefore, dismissed as having abated. No costs. /s.soni./ (DINESH MAHESHWARI ),J.
