THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.7801 of 2006 DATED: 20.4.2006 Between: Smt. K.Madhavi petitioner and The General Manager, Godavari Coop. Milk Producers Union Ltd., Rajahmundry, East Godavari District respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.7801 of 2006 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner is the legally wedded wife of one K.S.Suryanarayana, who was an employee of the Andhra Pradesh Dairy Development Cooperative Federation Limited. While he was working as Junior Assistant in the first respondent organization, he was reported missing from 23-10-1987. As his whereabouts were not known, a case of man missing was registered. Thereafter, he was declared as dead. He having been declared dead, was dismissed from service from 23-10-1987. Thereupon, she submitted a representation dated 01-07-2002 to the respondents to take steps for payment of Gratuity, GSLI and other terminal benefits that were payable to her husband, had he been alive or had died a natural death. Complaining that no orders are passed so far on the said representation, she filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Since the representation said to have been submitted by the petitioner for payment of Gratuity, GSLI and other terminal benefits of her husband, is pending before the respondents, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The respondents are directed to consider the representation dated 01-07- 2002 submitted by the petitioner for payment of gratuity, GSLI and other terminal benefits of her husband, pursuant to his dismissal from service, he having been declared dead, and pass appropriate orders expeditiously. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ (N.V.RAMANA, J) 20th APRIL, 2006. kvni
