The W.P.(C) No.21269 of 2007 :: 2 :: petitioner's husband did not die while he was in service. He died after more than two years of his removal from service. Therefore, this writ petition is not maintainable. Accordingly, it is dismissed. Sd/- (K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. To Judge
