According to the petitioner, after the death of her son, she made an application to the 2nd respondent- Commissioner, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Kutballapur, Ranga Reddy District, for issuance of the death certificate of her son, as the same is necessary to realize the death benefits of her son, for which she was shown as his nominee. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite her repeated requests both oral and written, the respondents are not furnishing the death certificate of her deceased son. Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents, on instructions, submits that the respondents have no objection to furnish the death certificate of the petitioner’s son to the petitioner. In view of the submission of the learned Standing Counsel, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to furnish the death certificate of the petitioner’s son as required by the petitioner, in accordance with law, expeditiously. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ N.V.RAMANA,J 12.02.2009 v v
