Shri K Paul, for the petitioner.Shri ND Chullai, Sr. Government Advocate, assisted by Shri B. Khirem, GA
for the respondents.BY THE COURT: (ORAL)

              Learned counsel for the petitioner frankly submits that the
requisite Death Certificate having been received by the petitioner, the
grievance stated in this writ petition does not survive and this petition is
rendered infructuous.Taking note of the submissions so made, though this petition
is dismissed as infructuous but perforce with the comment, that it is
expected of the respondents-State to ensure the necessary sensitivity in
dealing with such matters and to avoid the requirement of a citizen
approaching the Court only for the purpose of seeking directions for
issuance of Death Certificate.With the observations foregoing, this petition stands dismissed
as infructuous.CHIEF JUSTICE
