ASSAM appearing for THE STATE OF ASSAM AND ORS
BEFORE
HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR MEDHI
ORDER
15.10.2026 Heard Shri K. A. Mazumder, learned counsel for the applicant, who by means of this application is praying for substituting the writ petitioner by the applicant. The writ petitioner is the husband of the present applicant, who has instituted the connected WP(C)/4658/2025 claiming certain service benefit. The writ petitioner has however passed away on 08.08.2026. Shri Mazumder, the learned counsel has contended that the right to sue survives and therefore the substitution would be in the interest of justice.
Ms. S. Barua, learned State Counsel has not raised serious objection to the aforesaid prayer. In view of the above, the instant application for substitution is allowed. The learned counsel for the writ petitioner is accordingly required to file amended cause title in the connected writ petition which is to be done within 7 (seven) working days.
