The grievance of the petitioner is that upon death of her husband while working as Chaukidar, who died in harness on 12. 05.1999 in the office of Respondent No.7 till date retiral dues have not been settled as yet. Learned counsel for the State submits that in the averments made in the writ application, it does not appear that pension papers in prescribed form have been submitted by the petitioner to enable the payment of post retiral dues. In the above circumstances, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that for expeditious disposal of her pending claims as highlighted in the writ application, petitioner proposes to file a representation before Respondent No. 7. In case, representation/fresh pension papers are filed along with relevant documents in support of her claim as also certified copy of the present order within a period of six weeks from today, Respondent No.7 shall consider and dispose of her claims in accordance with law expeditiously preferably within a 2 period of six months on receipt of such representation/pension papers, so that the claims of death-cum-post retiral dues of the husband of the petitioner could be settled without delay and admitted dues could also be paid with statutory interest. With the above observations/directions, the writ application stands disposed of. m.p. ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J. )
