THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.2379 of 2009 BETWEEN: Kummari Yadamma PETITIONER And 1. Life Insurance Corporation of India, Hyderabad Division, Branch at Mahabubnagar, Jeevan Jyothi, Station Road, Mahabubnagar, rep. by its Branch Manager, and others. RESPONDENTS Counsel for the petitioner: Sri Venkat Raghu Ramulu Counsel for the respondents: Sri A.V.S. Rama Krishna The Court made the following: ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the wife of one K. Thuljappa, who died in a motor accident on 3.12.2008. The deceased was a contactor and during his life time he took insurance policies from the 1st respondent. The 2nd respondent herein is stated to be the mother and respondent No.3 is the minor son of the deceased though his first wife. The petitioner states that she is the legally wedded wife of the deceased and therefore she is entitled for a share in the amounts payable under the insurance policies. Her case is that although she is entitled, the 1st respondent is not inclined to pay her share. She has therefore filed this writ petition for a direction to the 1st respondent not to pay the amounts to respondents 2 and 3 excluding her. Heard Sri Venkat Raghu Ramulu, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri A.V.S. Rama Krishna, learned Standing Counsel for the 1st respondent. I am not inclined to go into the merits to decide whether the petitioner is the legally wedded wife of the deceased or that she is entitled for a share. It is for the petitioner to approach the 1st respondent and establish her right and in the event the 1st respondent is not inclined to accept, work out her remedies in any competent Court. The petitioner is therefore not entitled for the relief sought for in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. The petitioner is given liberty to make a representation to the 1st respondent setting up her right within a week. If such representation is made, it is for the 1st respondent to decide the claim of the petitioner in accordance with law. The petitioner can also avail any other remedy available to her under law. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 16th March, 2011 Js.
