HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.14523 of 2000 ORDER: The relief sought for in this writ petition is to declare the action of the respondents in not paying monthly pension from 1.1.1997 onwards to the petitioner as per the endorsement contained in the pension payment order dated 16.6.1986, as arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner seeks a consequential direction to the respondents to pay the monthly family pension to the petitioner taking into consideration the respective revisions made thereunder. Ms.T.Balajayasree, Learned Standing Counsel for the B.S.N.L, would submit, on instructions, that the family pension claim relating to late P.Ananda Rao was calculated on 16.4.2003, and the petitioner was paid Rs.1,30,666/- towards family pension from 17.3.1997 till 28.2.2003. The petitioner also received family pension from S.B.I. from 1.3.2003 till August, 2005 i.e., the date on which he attained the age of 25 years. Learned Standing Counsel would submit that the rules governing payment of family pension stipulate that family pension would be paid only till the nominee attains the age of 25 years, and not thereafter. The aforesaid submissions of the Learned Standing counsel, on instructions, show that the relief sought for in this writ petition has been granted by the respondent - B.S.N.L. itself. The cause in the writ petition does not survive necessitating its adjudication. The Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. However, in the circumstances, without costs. ___________ 22-7-2010 asp
