Respondents THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI W.P. NO. 23688 OF 2007 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner herein seeks a direction to the respondents to release his retirement benefits. The petitioner retired in the month of April, 2007 as Moulder in Central Work Shop of the first respondent company on being declared as medically unfit. It is stated by the petitioner that he married one Padmavathi and was blessed with four children. It is further stated though one Rajeshwari, claiming herself to be his wife had filed MC No. 46 of 1993 and POP No. 33 of 2007 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Kothagudem, against him seeking maintenance and injunction from receiving the retirement benefits from the official respondents herein but no interim order was granted in their favour. Therefore, he submits that there is no reason for the respondents in not releasing his retirement benefits inspite of his representation dated 28.9.2007. Hence, the present writ petition is filed. When this writ Petition is taken up for hearing, it is represented by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the petitioner had died. However, Mr. N.S.

No. CRP/PER/AEPATB/471 and submits that the first respondent has settled the retirement benefits of the petitioner and paid the same to his nominee Smt. T.Padmavathi, widow of the retired employee. The said letter is taken on record and having regard to the fact that no cause survives for adjudication in the writ petition, the Writ Petition is dismissed having become infructuous. No order as to costs. ________________________ Justice T. Meena Kumari July 15, 2010 MAS
