ORDER
Date : 05-05-2026 None appears for the petitioner on call.
Mr. H. K. Hazarika, learned State Counsel, and Ms. G. Hazarika, learned Standing Counsel, Revenue Department, for respondent Nos. 2 & 5, are present.
The petitioners, being the next of kin of the deceased person allegedly killed by extremists, were granted ex gratia of Rs. 1,00,000/- each. The claim of the petitioners in the present writ petition is for enhancement of the said amount to Rs. 3,00,000/- each in terms of a subsequent Office Memorandum, thereby seeking an additional amount of Rs. 2,00,000/- each.
The State respondents, by filing their affidavit, have categorically stated that for enhancement of ex gratia as per the relevant Office Memorandum/Policy, the claim has to be applied through proper channel, i.e. through the District Commissioner, who would verify such claim and forward the same to the Government for grant of ex gratia. However, no such proposal/ claim has been received by the State as on date.
Upon consideration of the matter, it appears that the petitioners have not applied for the additional ex gratia through proper channel as required under the Policy. At the same time, there is no representation on behalf of the petitioners which indicates that they are no longer interested to pursue this writ petition.
Accordingly, writ petition stands dismissed for non-prosecution.
