ORDER:
This writ petition is filed with twin grievances, namely, (1) that respondent No.2 has not been forwarding the recommendatory report of the Revenue Divisional Officer to respondent No.1 and (2) that respondent No.1 has not restored the pension to the petitioners.
At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (TA), on instructions, submitted that the report of the Revenue Divisional Officer under proceedings No.N/4088/2010, dated 12.10.2010, was forwarded by respondent No.2 to respondent No.1. It is agreed by the learned Assistant Government Pleader that W.P.No.29425 of 2013 filed by one Ganuguntla Veeramma with a similar grievance was allowed by this Court by order, dated 12.11.2013.
This Court while disposing of the said writ petition inter alia gave the following direction:
“Inasmuch the re-verification report sent by respondent No.2 found the petitioner eligible for restoration of pension, respondent No.1 shall pay all the arrears of pension payable to the petitioner’s husband during his lifetime and also the family pension arrears from the date of death of the petitioner’s husband to the petitioner, besides payment of family pension in future. Respondent No.1 is accordingly directed to release the arrears of pension and family pension as referred to above, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.”
Since it is admitted that the re-verification report of the Revenue Divisional Officer found the petitioners eligible for receiving the freedom fighters pension, respondent No.1 is directed to release the arrears of pension and family pension to the petitioners, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.36876 of 2013 shall stand disposed of as infructuous.
