                     P.C. :-

                     .         The record reveals that on 29.09.2023, this Court has

                     directed learned Advocate for the petitioner to take

                     appropriate steps within two weeks to bring the legal

                     representatives      of   the   deceased      petitioner   on   record.

                     Apparently, no steps are taken till this date. The writ petition

                     has already been abated.
