JUDGMENT 1. - We have heard learned Counsel for the applicants. The applicants seek review of the order dated 6th May. 2003 passed by the Division Bench dismissing the D.B.C. Writ Petition No. 4437/91. 2. The only ground of seeking review of the said order is that at the time when the writ petition was decided, the petitioner had died. 3. It is to be noticed that the petition was decided on merits in presence of the learned Counsel for the petitioner, who had not informed the Court about the death of the petitioner, therefore, it cannot be said that any prejudice has caused on not bringing the LRs. of the petitioner on record. 4. The principle of abatement strictly does not apply to the writ petition. If the petitioner's case is accepted then, petition would have been dismissed on the ground that the sole petitioner died and there is nobody to pursue the writ petition. Since, the case was argued by the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the petition was decided on merits, therefore. the result of the decision has remained same. Moreover, we find that the petitioner has sought to challenge the order of Division Bench by way of appeal in the Supreme Court on the same ground however, the withdrew the said special leave petition with the submission that he will prefer review petition before the High Court. therefore, that S.L.P. was dismissed as withdrawn. 5. In the fats and circumstances, no case for review is made out. The application is rejected.Review application rejected. *******
