According to the petitioner, her son late Ramakrishna Raju while working as Casual Driver in the second respondent Depot died on 13.6.2005 leaving behind herself and her grandson namely Jay Sai Varma, aged 13 years. She further stated that the wife of late Ramakrishna Raju died prior to the death of him i.e. on 8.9.2004 and after the death of his son, her grand son Jaya Sai Varma has been under her care and custody. Thereafter, she approached the second respondent’s office and made representation on 27.6.2009 for settling her son’s death benefits and because there was no response, the petitioner got issued a legal notice on 10.8.2009 to the second respondent, but still there was no response fro the second respondent. Hence the writ petition is filed. It is contended on behalf of the petitioner that the concerned authority has been insisting upon the petitioner to produce relevant succession certificate. On the other hand, it is contended on behalf of the respondents that the respondents have not committed any illegality or irregularity in asking the petitioner to produce succession certificate, which warrants interference of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. In the circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission, directing the respondents to consider settling the death benefits of late Ramakrishna Raju forthwith, as per law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY, J Date: 15.12.2011 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY W.P.No.4135 of 2010 15.12.2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.KRISHNA MOHAN REDDY W.P.No.4135 of 2010 Date: 15th December, 2011 Between: Mudunuru Varalakshmi ..
