AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL)

In the present writ petition, the prayer has been made by the

petitioner for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the

respondents to release the arrears of pension and other pensionary

benefits along with interest @ 18% per annum which her husband Late

Shri Amar Singh was entitled to and further directing the respondents to

release the family pension to the petitioner w.e.f. the date of death of her

husband Sh. Amar Singh i.e. 01.05.1999.

The said retiral benefits were denied to the petitioner on the

ground that CWP No. 9784 of 1989 was pending adjudication before this

Hon’ble Court.

CWP No. 19853 of 2001 -2-

In the light of the order even dated passed in CWP No. 9784 of

1989, wherein the said writ petition challenging the award of the Labour

Court, vide which the workman has been reinstated,which was filed by the

respondent in this writ petition, has been dismissed, the impediment as far

as the claim made in the present writ petition by the petitioner stands

removed.

A direction is issued to the respondents to consider the claim

of the petitioner in accordance with law and release the same within a

period of three months’ from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In

case the claim of the petitioner is to be rejected, a well reasoned speaking

order be passed and the same be also conveyed to her within a period of

one week thereafter.

The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly.
