THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO. 12848 OF 2004 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner is convicted for an offence punishable under Section 302 of Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act and undergoing imprisonment at the State Home for Women Prisoners, Central Prison, Chanchalguda, Hyderabad . The only grievance appears to be that in spite of the fact that she made a representation before the 2nd respondent on 28-06-2004 making a request to permit her to visit Indian Bank, Begumpet Branch for collecting the family pension, the same has not been considered so far. Since the representation is pending with the 2nd respondent without expressing any opinion on merits, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 28.06.2004 and to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ----------- 23.07.2004 Note: Issue C.C. by Monday (B/O) bud/tsnr To 1.
