ORDER
Date : 27.07.2026 Heard Mr. M. Shah learned counsel appearing for the applicant. Also heard Mr. B. Chakrabarty, learned CGC, appearing for the respondent Nos. 1, 2 and 3, and Mr. M. Sharma, learned Standing Counsel, UCO Bank, appearing for respondent Nos. 4 & 5. The present interlocutory application has been filed seeking substitution of the legal heirs of the sole petitioner, who expired on 24.08.2025 during the pendency of the connected writ proceedings, i.e., 2246/2025.
It appears that the deceased petitioner is survived by the following legal heirs, i.e., 1. Nayan Kumar Saha (son), 2. Chayan Kumar Saha (son),
3. Saraswati Saha (Daughter). Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and having perused the materials available on record, it appears that pursuant to the death of the petitioner, the right to sue having been surviving, the aforesaid stated legal heirs is required to be substituted in place of the deceased petitioner. Accordingly the interlocutory application stands allowed. The applicants, namely, 1. Nayan Kumar Saha (son), 2. Chayan Kumar Saha (son), 3. Saraswati Saha (Daughter), are substituted in place of the deceased sole petitioner in the connected writ petition. Let an amended cause title be submitted before the Registry of this Court for doing the needful in this regard.
