For petitioner ...Mr.R.Subramanian For Respondents ...Mr.N.Elango Government Advocate ORDER Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as the learned counsel appearing for the first respondent and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. 2. The petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition for a mandamus directing the respondents to disburse the family pension to the petitioner in pursuant to her representation dated 17.03.2011. 3. The case of the petitioner in nutshell is stated hereunder: Her husband Alla Pitchai worked as office assistant in Arrack Blending Unit, Bikshandarkoil, Trichy and retired from service on 30.09.1986. Her husband, on 06.04.1988, gave a representation to the second respondent authorising her to receive family pension. By proceeding, dated 20.04.1988, the second respondent informed the petitioner that the first respondent by proceeding dated 13.02.1988 authorised her as family pensioner and directed to approach the third respondent. Her husband also approached the third respondent and produced all the photographs. 3.1. Meanwhile, her husband died on 19.08.1992. On 20.04.1992, she applied to the second and third respondents for disbursement of family pension. By memo dated 05.05.1992, the second respondent directed her to furnish certain documents and she has produced the same. By proceeding, dated 10.07.1992, the second respondent sent a letter to the first respondent requesting him to authorise family pension to her. However, the petitioner has been driven from pillar to post without payment of pension. Hence, the petitioner has come up with the present writ petition for the relief stated earlier. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 4. On notice, the learned counsel appearing for the first respondent and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 2 and 3 submitted that the petitioner was directed to produce relevant documents through the proceeding of the third respondent, dated 28.07.2010. But, however, the documents have not been furnished and hence, the family pension could not be settled to the petitioner. 5. However, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the documents required by the third respondent through his proceeding, dated 28.07.2010, was already furnished by the petitioner. 6. In view of the dispute about the production of the documents in the proceeding of the third respondent, dated 28.07.2010, I direct the petitioner to once again furnish those documents to the third respondent within one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and on production of the same, the third respondent is directed to consider the claim of the petitioner and settle the family pension to her without driving the petitioner again and again seeking for some document or the other. The said exercise has to be carried out by the respondents within a period of four weeks on receipt of the documents from the petitioner. It is needless to say that the first respondent has already communicated a proceeding to the third respondent to settle the family pension. This was also to be borne in mind by the third respondent, while passing orders. With the above direction, the Writ Petition stands ordered. No costs.
