Respondents ----------- 5 03.03.2009 It appears that this case was disposed of by a general order passed in batch of cases on 8.9.2008. It is stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner had died and a substitution petition was filed in the case for substituting the name of the petitioner by her grand son (Nati) namely, Suraj Kumar. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that unless and until the legal entitlement of said applicant is established, it is difficult for authorities to release the dues in respect of the deceased government employee in favour of said Suraj Kumar. In this view of the matter, said Suraj Kumar is permitted to file a formal application before the authorities concerned claiming himself to be the sole legal heir and representative of the concerned government employee with necessary proof of the same. In case such application is filed, the authorities will get satisfied with regard to the entitlement of said Suraj Kumar for the dues of the deceased government employ and if they are satisfied the dues in respect of said deceased government - 2 - employee should be released in favour of the applicant within two months thereafter. With the above observations and directions, the matter is closed. Kundan (J. N. Singh, J.)
