D.Venkata Mahalakshmi … Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh Rep., by its Principal Secretary, Secretariat, Hyderabad and 4 others. … respondents HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.21194 of 2009 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the action of the respondents in not re-fixing the family pension to which she is entitled to as per A.P. Aided, Degree, Oriental and Junior Colleges Staff Pension Rules, 1993 with all consequential benefits. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Higher Education appearing for respondents 1 to 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner at the outset submitted that the issue raised in this writ petition is squarely covered by the decision of this Court in K.Gundachar v. State of Andhra Pradesh and others[1]. It is also pointed out that following the said decision, W.P.No.1647 of 1995 was allowed by this Court by order dated 07.03.2003. The fact that the petitioner herein is also similarly situated has not been disputed by the learned Government Pleader. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and particularly keeping in view that the petitioner’s representation dated 24.06.2009 for re-fixation of family pension is pending, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 24.06.2009 in the light of the decision of this Court in K.Gundachar’s case, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. _____________ G.ROHINI,J Date: 06.10.2009 KLP [1] 1998(3) ALD 196
