Bombay High Court

PREMANAND JANGU PAWARversusSPECIAL RECOVERY OFFICER, DHULE-NANDURBAR SARKARI NOKRANCHI SAHAKARI BANK LTD. DHULE AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF
Bench: SACHIN S DESHMUKH

Holding

The petition stands abated.

Summary

Premanand Jangu Pawar filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking relief against the Special Recovery Officer and others. The petitioner died before the matter could be decided, and no steps were taken to bring any legal representatives on record. The court examined whether the petition could proceed in the absence of a petitioner or representative. It held that without a surviving petitioner or duly appointed representative, the petition cannot continue. Consequently, the writ petition was held to stand abated and was disposed of.

Issues considered

Can a writ petition continue after the death of the sole petitioner when no legal representative is brought on record?
