GOVERNMENT PLEADER MR.T.T.MUHAMMOOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: JVT S. SIRI JAGAN, J ---------------------- W.P.(C.) No.8413 of 2010 --------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of March 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner claims to be the legally wedded wife of late N.Raveendran, who died on 22.1.10, after his retirement from government service. It appears that the 4th respondent also claims to be the widow of late N.Raveendran. The petitioner apprehends that respondents 1 and 3 are likely to disburse family pension to the 4th respondent. In the above circumstances the petitioner has filed Ext.P4 before the 1st respondent. Petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, I do not think to that it is necessary to issue notice to the 4th respondent at this juncture. Taking into account facts and circumstances of the case, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the W.P.(C) No.8413 of 2010 -2- 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P4 as expeditiously as possible at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the 4th respondent. Till orders are passed on Ext.P4, the family pension due to the family of deceased N.Raveendran shall not be disbursed. Sd/- S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE //True Copy// P.A. To Judge Jvt
