Heard Shri F.A. Hassan, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Shri J. Payang, learned Standing Counsel for the Home Department; Shri N. Kalita, learned counsel appearing on behalf of Shri A.I. Ali, learned Standing Counsel for the ECI; Shri P. Sharma, learned State Counsel and Shri H. Gupta, learned CGC.
Shri Hassan, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted on instructions that during the pendency of the writ petition, the petitioner has expired. In view of such development, there may not be any necessity to continue in this writ petition, as it is a settled position of law that an opinion would be effective only for that particular proceedee and cannot be used as the sole material to declare the other family members as foreigners. The writ petition stands closed.
