Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.V.VISWANATHAM Counsel for the Respondents: MR.A.KRISHNAM RAJU The Court made the following: ORDER: Heard the learned counsel on either side. The petitioner claiming to be the class I heir of the deceased P.Nirmala, who died while in service as Malan, filed this writ petition inter alia seeking writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to release and pay the Family Pension to her in pursuance of Form-8 submitted by the deceased to the third respondent. The case of the petitioner is that she is the nominee of her deceased daughter P.Nirmala. In view of death of her daughter and apart from the fact that she being the class I heir and also a nominee in Form-8, she is entitled to the Family pension benefits. Though the petitioner has filed a representation in this regard on 18-08- 2003 before third respondent, the same is still pending under consideration. Having heard the submissions made on either side and also on perusal of the material available on record, it is seen that there is already a representation pending with the third respondent and the petitioner claims to be the nominee and also class I heir of the deceased. Therefore, there cannot be any impediment to consider the case of the petitioner and to pass appropriate orders. No justification can be seen keeping such representations pending long time. The writ petition is accordingly allowed directing the third respondent to consider the representation dated 18-08-2003 filed by the petitioner and to pass appropriate orders, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ___________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) Dated February 25, 2005. YCR Note: Issue copy in a week.
