The dismissal of a writ petition as abated due to the petitioner's death and lack of legal representation.

Headnote:In this matter concerning WP

(C) No. 33336 of 2018, the petitioner sought judicial relief, but it was determined that the petitioner had passed away without legal representation. The court thus ruled that the writ petition is dismissed as abated. Key legislation or statutory provisions were not explicitly referenced in the judgment. The core issues were framed around the legal status of the petitioner's appeal in relation to their demise. The court reasoned that absent representation by legal heirs, the case could not proceed, leading to the dismissal of the petition. The verdict is that the writ petition is dismissed as abated.

J U D G M E N T

Dated this the 23^rd day of February, 2026 When the matter was taken up for consideration, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is no more. Since, no one has appeared on behalf of the legal representatives of the petitioner, this writ petition is dismissed as abated.
