THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.27165 of 2005 Date:21.12.2005 Duggi Sarojamma. --------PETITIONER The Superintendent Engineer and another. ---------RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner claims that her husband, by name D.L.N.Prasad, was employed as a Driver with the A.P.Transco and that he died on 04.10.2002. She states that except her, there are no legal heirs to the deceased-employee. Her grievance is that though more than three years have lapsed, the respondents have not settled the pensionary and death-cum-retirement benefits, payable on account of the death of her husband. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Except stating that she is the wife of the deceased-employee, the petitioner did not furnish any other material. The nature of employment of the deceased- employee is also not clear. The petitioner has not filed any succession certificate. The affidavit is silent as to whether the petitioner submitted any application for payment of such pensionary and death-cum-retirement benefits. Therefore, this Court cannot grant any relief to the petitioner. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to file appropriate application before the respondents with necessary proof of her relationship with the deceased-employee as well as her entitlement to succeed his estate. As and when such an application is made by the petitioner, the respondents shall consider the same, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 21.12.2005 Jsu
