As agreed to by all the counsel, this writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage by issuing appropriate directions. The facts of the case, in brief, are that the husband of the petitioner, namely, Late Azizur Rahman, who was working as a copyist under the District and Sessions Judge, Darrang District, Mangaldoi on the basis of the order dated 18. 09.1987. His appointment was initially of a temporary nature. However, on comp letion of eight years of continuous and satisfactory performance of duties, his temporary service came to be regularized by the respondent No. 3 (District and S essions Judge, Darrang District, Mangaldai vide order dated 08.01.1996 with effe ct from 23.09.1987, when he joined the post of copyist. Unfortunately, he died on 23.09.2009 in harness. The grievance of the petitioner is that the family pe nsion as well as other retiral benefits of her husband have not been released to her even after two years of death of her husband, even though all the requisite papers in this behalf have been submitted. The counsel appearing for all the r espondents have admitted that the family pension and other retiral benefits of t he deceased claimed by the petitioner have been found to be admissible but the s ame is yet to be sanctioned by the respondent No. 3 i.e. Judicial Department, Go vt. of Assam. It is distressing to note that the widow of the deceased Govt. em ployee has been made to run from pillar to post to claim the pension benefits of her husband who died almost two years ago. Under the circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of by directing the Secretary to the Govt. of Assam, Judici al Department, Dispur, Guwahati to sanction and release the family pension and o ther retiral benefits of the deceased to the petitioner without further delay an d within a period of two months from the date of receipt of this order. This writ petition is disposed of in the matter indicated above.
