JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH Present: Mr.Jasmeet Singh Bedi, Advocate for Mr.A.K.Rampal, Advocate for the applicant-petitioner ….. Jasbir Singh, J.(Oral) C.M. No.14956 of 2009 This application has been filed with a prayer to recall order dated 19.8.2009, dismissing CWP No.12575 of 2009 for non-prosecution. Application is accompanied by an affidavit of the counsel. Averments made in this application indicate that non-appearance of the counsel on the date fixed was not intentional. In view of above, this application is allowed, order dated 19.8.2009 is recalled and CWP No.12575 of 2009 is restored to its original number. On request made, the writ petition is taken on board for final disposal. CWP No.12575 of 2009 It is apparent from the records that the petitioner, when in service, obtained Postal Life Insurance Police No.UP/240133-CC on Civil Writ Petition No.12575 of 2009(O&M) 31.10.1991. Thereafter, on account of certain reasons, he failed to make payment and moved an application for getting surrendered value of the Policy in question, as per rules. Vide order dated 20.3.2009, respondent No.2 transferred his application for making payment, to respondent No.4, to do the needful and decide case of the petitioner at an early date. It is grievance of the petitioner that nothing has been done thereafter, despite requests made in that regard. In view of facts mentioned above, this writ petition is disposed by giving directions to respondent No.4 to take note and decide claim of the petitioner, for payment of surrendered value, against Postal Life Insurance Policy, mentioned above, in terms of the letter Annexure P5 dated 20.3.2009, immediately, preferably within three months. In case, the authority is going to reject claim of the petitioner, a detailed order be passed and copy of the same be supplied to him. (Jasbir Singh) 13.11.2009 Judge gk 2
