The petitioners are the sisters of the deceased employee and had filed the writ petition seeking direction for release of retiral benefits like Gratuity, GPF, Leave Encashment alongwith all consequential benefits. Notice of motion was issued and reply has been filed. It is disclosed that earlier the mother of the petitioners has filed the writ petition before this Court for release of the same benefits. That writ petition was withdrawn by the mother to pursue her remedies before the civil Court by filing an application to obtain succession certificate. She, however, could not get the succession certificate due to her demise. The petitioners, who are the sisters of the deceased employee, have now obtained the succession certificate, Annexure P-2. As per the respondents, the petitioners never approached the Civil Writ Petition No. 1727 of 2011 -2- department for release of benefits on the basis of succession certificate. It is also stated that the retiral benefits of the deceased employee would be released, in case, the petitioners approach the respondent-department. In view of this, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the petitioners to approach the respondent-department for release of retiral benefits on the basis of succession certificate. Due benefits, if otherwise permissible, be released within a period of three months from the date of receipt of copy of this Court. August 03, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH) rts JUDGE
