Senior Divisional Manager, Life Insurance Corporation of India, Division Office, Patna. 7.

Mr. Pancham Lal Jaiswal Mr. Tapeshwar Sharma Advocate for the Municipal Corporation : Mr. Vinay Kirti Singh -------------- 02 11.05.2009 The husband of the petitioner was an employee of the Patna Municipal Corporation and was in-charge of sanitation supervision in Ward No. 37. He had an insurance policy with the Life Insurance Corporation of India (L.I.C.). He died on 18.11.2005 for processing claim as made by the petitioner, who is the widow. Life Insurance Corporation requires a particular form that is Form-E to be filled up by the employer and send it to the L.I.C. For four years L.I.C. has been writing to the Municipal Corporation without any response. Municipal Corporation represented through Mr. Vinay Kirti Singh. In my view, no useful purpose would be served by keeping this writ petition pending. Respondent-Life Insurance Corporation, who have appeared and filed a counter affidavit is directed to directly send Form-E to the Municipal Commissioner, Patna Municipal Corporation within one month from today. The Municipal Corporation in its turn would fill up the form and return it to the Life Insurance Corporation within one month thereafter. Both would duly intimate the same to the petitioner within one month thereafter. L.I.C. would finally communicate their decision about settling the dues as claimed by the writ petitioner. This disposes of the writ petition itself. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
