The present writ petition was filed in the year 2008 with a prayer to direct the Respondents to pay death-cum- retiral dues of mother of the petitioner, who died on 20.12.2007 while working as Mahila Kakshapal in Sub Divisional Jail, Jehanabad. In this case, a detailed counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of Respondent no.5, wherein it has been indicated that earlier on 15.04.2007 the mother of the petitioner was transferred and relieved from Jehanabad Jail, but she did not join her new assignment and subsequently without even joining, she died on 20.12.2007. Thereafter, all admitted death-cum- retiral dues were paid, which has been categorically stated in paragraph-7 of the counter affidavit. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the pay of 2 the petitioner’s mother was not revised and, as such, the Respondents are required to pay arrear after granting revision. In the writ petition, there is no such averment. In view of the fact that all death-cum- retiral dues have already been paid to the petitioner long back, there is no need to keep the matter further pending. The writ petition stands disposed of.
