SAPNA GOYAL 2025.07.16 14:06 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CWP-946-2023(O&M) and CWP-1558-2023 (O&M) -2- 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that unfortunately the petitioner-Senior Citizen has passed away but he wants to implead the legal heirs of the petitioner-Senior Citizen to pursue the present petition. 3. Learned Senior counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent submits that keeping in view the judgment passed by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in CWP No.26286 of 2019 titled “ Kidar Nath Vs. Deputy Commissioner, SAS Nagar Mohali and ors.” , dated 29.09.2022, wherein it has been held that the writ petition abates upon the death of the petitioner- Senior Citizen, the present petitions are liable to be disposed of, which principle of law has not been rebutted by the learned counsel for the petitioner. 4. Keeping in view the above, coupled with the fact that, the claim raised in the writ petition is still to be adjudicated and no order in favour of the petitioner-Senior Citizen has been passed so far hence, the present petitions are disposed of as having been not pressed any further with the observations that no further orders are required to be passed as the petitioner has unfortunately died. 5. Pending application, if any, also stands disposed of. 6. Photocopy of this order be placed on the file of other connected case. 15-07-2025 Sapna Goyal (HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI) JUDGE NOTE: Whether speaking: YES Whether reportable: NO SAPNA GOYAL 2025.07.16 14:06 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
