The name of his wife Smt. K.P. Padmavathy Amma was entered in the service records for family pension. It is stated that subsequent to his retirement, the marriage was dissolved as per judgment dated 19.12.1995 render by the Sub Court, Ottappalam in O.P.No.40/1995. 2. Thereafter, the petitioner got married one Smt. V. Padmavathy Amma. Later on 7.8.1998 he made Ext.P3 application to the 2nd respondent to accord sanction for incorporating the name of Smt. V. Padmavathy Amma for family pension. Though supporting documents were also produced, still final orders on Ext.P3 have not been passed and therefore this writ petition is filed. 3. If as stated by the petitioner, he has filed a proper request, Ext.P3, before the 2nd respondent for incorporation of the name his 2nd wife for family pension, there is no reason why the said WPC.No.34585 /09 :2 : request shall not be considered. 4. Having regard to the above, I direct the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 6 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WPC.No.34585 /09 :3 :
