Perused the order dated 28.08.2025 passed by the learned Lawazima Court followed by Office Note dated 12.11.2025 which reflect that steps for service of notice upon the respondents have not been taken. Shri R. Mazumdar, learned counsel appearing on instructions of Shri JUNM Page No.# 4/4 Laskar, learned counsel for the petitioner has however submitted that the petitioner has expired and in the meantime, legal heirs are not readily available. In that view of the matter, this Court is of the opinion that in absence of an application for substitution which ought to have been filed in time, this writ petition cannot survive. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. However, liberty is granted to the legal heirs to file appropriate application for revival of the same, if so advised. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
