A.G. and Mrs. Shubh Mahajan, DAG for the respondents. The petitioner has prayed for a direction to the respondents to release the payments to him and his brothers after the death of his father Prabhu Dayal who was working as work charged Beldar in HPPWD and died on 20.12.1998. It has been submitted that the mother of the petitioner Smt. Churi Devi also died on 22.2.2000 and now the petitioner and his two brothers Suresh Kumar and Lokeshwar are entitled to all service benefits after the death of Prabhu Dayal. 2. The reply has not been filed but the petitioner himself has filed copy of letter dated 22.2.2001 Annexure A-1 addressed to Lokeshwar by the Assistant Engineer, RIDF Sub Division, HPPWD, Bahli. The perusal of letter dated 22.2.2001 indicates that the Department itself has offered to pay Rs.91391/- to the legal heirs of Prabhu on production of legal heir certificate. The break up of various amounts payable has also been given in the letter dated 22.2.2001. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that no such legal heir certificate was produced by the petitioner or his brothers to the Department. In these situation, no fault can be found with the Department for not releasing the amount to the petitioner and his brothers as mentioned in the letter dated 22.2.2001. - 2 - 3. It is not the case of respondents that no amount is payable to the legal heirs of Prabhu. In these circumstances, the respondents are directed to release the amount mentioned in the letter dated 22.2.2001 Annexure A-1 to the legal heirs of Prabhu within four weeks on production of legal heir certificate of Prabhu. The petition stands disposed of on above terms. April 27, 2010. ( Kuldip Singh ) (GR) Judge.
