Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner herein, having been born of the wed lock between Late Fake Narain Singh and his mother Mostt. Kamla Devi, claims equitable distribution of the pension amount. By order dated 2.1.2008, notice was issued to respondent no.6, i.e the first wife of Late Fake Narain Singh, Mostt. Ram Rati Devi. The notice was effected on her but she refused to accept the same and thus this Court, by order dated 14.2.2008 deemed the notice to have been validly effected. Having regard to the circumstances of the case, requiring verification and confirmation of 2 the relationship of the present petitioner with late Fake Narain Singh and the marriage of his mother Mostt. Kamla Devi with the deceased employee, no useful purpose would be served to keep this writ petition pending in this Court. This writ petition is thus disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to file a representation before respondent no.3, the Civil Surgeon, Nawadah placing his claim along with the supportive documents establishing his relationship with Late Fake Narain Singh within one month from today. Respondent No.3 the Civil Surgeon, Nawadah is directed to consider the claim of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders after conducting such due inquiry as he desires to satisfy himself and dispose of the same in the light of the law laid down in the case of Rameshwari Devi Vs. The State of Bihar reported in 2000 (2) PLJR 15 (SC) and in the case of Union of India vrs. Smt. Bishakha Devi reported in 2003 (1) PLJR 32. In case, the claim of the petitioner is found genuine by respondent no.3 then necessary orders be passed for effectuating the same after following the due process of law. However, in case 3 the claim of the petitioner does not find favour, the same should be rejected by a reasoned and speaking order. In either of the event, the orders may be passed expeditiously and in any event not later than three months from the date of receipt of the representation of the petitioner. This writ application is disposed of with the direction aforesaid. ahk (Jyoti Saran,J.)
