SANTHOSH KUMAR, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/06/2009,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.17371 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 23rd day of June, 2009 J U D G M E N T The claim in this writ petition is for terminal benefits, which are due to the deceased husband of the petitioner, late Mr.V.L.Ramachandran Pillai, who was working as an Attender in the 2nd respondent Co-operative Bank. 2. According to the petitioner, though applications were made to the 2nd respondent in this regard, payment was not made, and as a result thereof, she has filed Ext.P4 before the 1st respondent. In this writ petition, what the petitioner seeks is a direction for payment of terminal benefits due to her deceased husband. 3. However, having regard to the fact that this grievance has been raised before the 1st respondent by filing Ext.P4, which according to the petitioner is still pending, I am inclined to direct the 1st respondent to consider the aforesaid representation. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st WP(C) No.17371/2009 -2- respondent to consider Ext.P4, with notice to the petitioner and the 2nd respondent, and pass orders thereon. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
