Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No.2041 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 28th day of January, 2011. J U D G M E N T Petitioner's mother, who was in the service of the respondents, died on 29.3.2004. The petitioner has filed this writ petition complaining that the DCRG amount of Rs. 33816/- due to the mother of the petitioner has not been disbursed to her legal heirs yet. 2. I directed the learned standing counsel for the 2nd respondent to get instructions in the matter. He today submits that the death certificate and legal heirship certificate produced by the petitioner have been returned and the the petitioner was directed to execute an indemnity bond. 3. I am not satisfied that the rules provide for any indemnity bond, once the death certificate and legal heir ship certificate are produced. In this case, the petitioner has produced a certificate issued by the Administrator General under the Administrator General Act, 1963, which is as good as a succession certificate. That being so, the respondents cannot insist on any other document than the death certificate and the certificate from the Administrator General. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to see that the DCRG due to late Smt. K.R. Sreelatha is disbursed to her legal heirs on production of the death certificate and the original of Ext. P3, within one month from the date of production of death certificate and original of Ext. P3. The claim of the petitioner for interest is left open to be agitated in appropriate proceedings . Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
