HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 19102 of 2009 Date: 19.10.2009 Between: S.A.Dowlatha … Petitioner And S.A.Hameed and another. … Respondents HONOURABLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 19102 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner herein claims to be the wife of the 1st respondent, who was working as a Supervisor in A.P. Genco. This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the letter dated 29.07.2009 addressed by the 2nd respondent-A.P. Genco informing the petitioner that her name as nominee was deleted from the Service Register of the 1st respondent, pursuant to a request made by him, is arbitrary and illegal. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the 2nd respondent sating that the 1st respondent made an application on 07.01.2009 producing a certificate issued by the District Government Qazi dated 27.08.2008 to the effect that the he had divorced the petitioner and requesting to delete her name as nominee from the Service Records. Accordingly, the petitioner’s name has been deleted and the same has been informed to the petitioner by letter dated 29.07.2009. I have heard the learned counsel for both the parties. It is also clear from the material on record that the 1st respondent had retired from service on 31.07.2008 and the petitioner’s name as nominee was deleted from his Service Register on the basis of the material produced by the 1st respondent in support of his plea that the marriage between the petitioner and the 1st respondent was not subsisting. The only contention raised by the petitioner is that before such deletion the 2nd respondent ought to have issued a notice to the petitioner. However the learned counsel for the petitioner could not point out any statutory provision obligating the 2nd respondent to issue such prior notice. In the circumstances, the impugned action of the 2nd respondent cannot be held to be arbitrary or illegal on any ground whatsoever. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to work out the appropriate remedy as available under law with regard to her claims if any against the 1st respondent. No costs. ___________ G. ROHINI, J. Date: 19.10.2009 KLP
