THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25220 of 2011 ORDER: The father of the petitioner retired from the service of the erstwhile A.P. State Electricity Board. He was being paid pension and died in the year 1981. Thereafter, the petitioner and her mother were being paid the family pension by the electricity board till it was re-organised and by the 1st respondent, after its re- organisation till the year 2003, when the petitioner attained the age of 25 years. The petitioner made an attempt to get the family pension for his entire life, pleading physical disability. W.P.No.7960 of 2009 filed by the petitioner was dismissed on the ground that the A.P. Revised Pension Rules, 1980 do not permit of such a facility. The petitioner contends that the Government issued G.O.Ms.No.353, Finance (PSC) Department, dated 04.12.2010 incorporating a condition that provides for payment of family pension till the lifetime of the dependant of a deceased-employee, in case he suffers any serious disability. The petitioner filed a representation, dated 05.05.2011 to the 2nd respondent claiming the benefit under that provision. His grievance is that no steps were taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The attempt made by the petitioner to claim pension for his lifetime did not fructify in view of the provision that prevailed as on the date of his attaining the age of 25 years. It is no doubt true that the provision was amended in the recent past. The question as to whether the petitioner is entitled for the benefit under that provision needs to be examined by the 2nd respondent. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the 2nd respondent to pass orders on the representation made by the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 09.09.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25220 of 2011 Date: 09.09.2011 JSU
