The deceased met with an accident while on court duty and the claim in this writ petition is raised in terms of the provisions of the Government Order providing for ex gratia compensation of Rs.50,000/-. 2. The learned Govt. Pleader now points out that the claim of the petitioner has been sanctioned vide Govt. Order dated 30.5.2007. The order needed corrections and those corrections were also carried out on 28.11.2007. He was also instructed on 10.12.2007 to submit that the amount sanctioned will be disbursed within three days. 3. In view of the above, adjudication on the merits of the claim in the writ petition, is unnecessary. Therefore, recording the WPC No. 6555/05 -2- submissions made by the learned Govt. Pleader, I dispose of this writ petition itself directing that if the amount sanctioned as per orders dated 30.5.2007 and 28.11.2007 has not been paid till date, the respondents will ensure that the amount is paid as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment.
