JUSTICE KARDAK ETE ORDER Date : 15.12.2025 Heard Mr. K. M. Hassan, learned counsel for the applicants. Also heard Mr. R. K. D. Choudhury, learned Deputy Solicitor General of India for the respondent/Union of India, and Ms. N. Bordoloi, learned Standing Counsel, Revenue Department. This is an application seeking substitution of the petitioner in WP(C) Page No.# 3/3 No.3661/2018 by the applicants, who are the legal heirs of the deceased petitioner. The petitioner has filed the WP(C) No.3661/2018 seeking for a direction for payment of the decreetal amount towards zirat and dwelling house and building existing on the land acquired from the petitioner for the construction of IIT, Guwahati amounting to Rs. 28,63,078/-. During the pendency of the writ petition, the petitioner had expired. Consequently, the present application has been filed seeking substitution of the deceased petitioner by his legal heirs, namely, Dinesh Kalita and Balen Kalita, being the sons. Having considered that the applicants are the sons and legal heirs of the deceased petitioner, Ranjit Kalita (who had expired during the pendency of WP(C) No.3661/2018), and the prayer for substitution not being objected to by the learned counsel appearing for the respondents, I deem it appropriate to allow this interlocutory application. Accordingly, the deceased petitioner is allowed to be substituted by the applicants, namely, Dinesh Kalita and Balen Kalita, in WP(C) No.3661/2018. The interlocutory application stands disposed of.
