NOTIFICATION

No. 1483 – RG. Date: 03.07.2020.

It is hereby notified for information of all concerned that on account of sudden demise of
Justice Protik Prakash Banerjee sitting of Benches scheduled to be held today as also all
administrative works of this Hon’ble Court has been suspended as a mark of respect to the departed soulSoul Abraham, having wept a short time over his wife’s body, soon rose up from the corpse; thinking, as it should seem, that to mourn any longer would be inconsistent with that wisdom by which he had been taught that he was not to look upon death as the extinction of the soul, but rather as a separation and disjunction of it from the body, returning back to the region from whence it came; and it came, from God. (Philo) न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचिन्-नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः-अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोयं पुराणो-न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे (Gita 2.20 ).
