WP(C) 4247/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mrs. R.B. Bora, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. B.C. Pathak, learned counsel appearing for the respondents. The grievance of the petitioner in the present petition is that though f or the death of her husband, who was an agent of Life Insurance Corporation of I ndia and was allotted agency code No.10312481 she is entitled to a sum of Rs.3,0 0,000/- under the Group Insurance policy issued by the respondent insurance comp any, the same has not been paid to the petitioner despite submission of all requ ired documents and compliance of all required formalities. The learned counsel for the petitioner on the backdrop of such claim of the petitioner, has submitted that the respondent authorities may be directed to release the said amount, since the petitioner after obtaining the succession ce rtificate from the competent court on 05.09.2009 submitted the same. Mr. Pathak, learned counsel appearing for the respondents on the other h and, has submitted that it is evident from the certificate issued by the Divisio nal Manager (P&GS) that the amount could not be released due to non-registration of nomination and non-submission of succession certificate. It appears from the aforesaid certificate issued by the Divisional Manag er (P&GS) that an amount of Rs.3,00,000/- is pending towards payment against the Group Insurance scheme in the name of the petitioner’s husband, which however c ould not be released because of non-registration of the nomination and non-submi ssion of the succession certificate. It also appears that the learned District J udge, Kamrup, on 05.09.2009 issued the succession certificate in favour of the p resent petitioner in respect of the said sum, which has also been placed before the said Insurance authority by the petitioner. The communication dated 19.03.2010 issued by the Divisional Manager (P&G S) also reflects that the matter relating to the payment under the Group Insuran ce scheme, is under process. That being the position, the present writ petition is disposed of with d irection to the Divisional Manager (P&GS) as well as the Branch Manager, LICI, G BO-1, the respondent Nos.3 and 4, respectively, to release the said amount in fa vour of the petitioner, under the Group Insurance Scheme, within a period of 3(t hree) months from the date of production of the certified copy of the order pass ed today by the petitioner before the respondent No.3, namely, the Divisional Ma nager (P&GS). The writ petition is accordingly allowed as indicated above. No costs.
