ORDER
Date : 08.06.2026
Heard Mr. S. P. Das, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. B. J. Talukdar, learned State Counsel for the respondent No. 8. Also heard Ms. S. Sarma, learned Standing Counsel, Health and Family Welfare Department for the respondent Nos. 3, 4 & 6 and Ms. S. Bhuyan, learned counsel for the respondent No. 7. By filing this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for a direction to appoint the petitioner No. 1, Shri Hem Chandra Sarma, as a limited guardian for his son, i.e. the petitioner No. 2 (Sri Dipankar Sarma), on account of the petitioner No. 2 being in the state of incapacity or disability due to brain stroke/attack and is unable to use his intellect, converse, take just decision and sign various documents. Mr. B. J. Talukdar, learned State Counsel by placing a copy of the certificate dated 21.05.2026 submits that the petitioner No. 1 has already been granted the limited guardianship of the petitioner No. 2. In view of the above, it is submitted at that Bar that the writ petition has become infructuous. Accordingly, this writ petition stands closed as infructuous, as the relief sought for has already been granted by the respondent authority. A copy of the certificate dated 21.05.2026 is hereby marked as Document X.
