Hon'ble Saral Srivastava,J.
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for respondents.
The husband of the petitioner was working as Junior Engineer in the Irrigation Department and had died on 05.05.2021 during service period. She has not been paid any death-cum-retirement gratuity by respondents. In this respect, several representations have been submitted to respondent-authorities requesting them to release the gratuity.
The grievance of the petitioners is that respondent-authority is sitting tight over the matter and has not yet released the gratuity.
Learned Standing Counsel for the respondents submits that no useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending and appropriate direction may be issued to respondent no.2 to consider the grievance of the petitioner.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and without going into the merits of the case and with the consent of the parties, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to file a comprehensive representation before the respondent no.2-Chief Engineer Irrigation Nirman Khand Head Officer, Shikohabad, District Firozabad alongwith the copy of this order downloaded from the official website of High Court, Allahabad raising all her grievances within a period of two weeks from today. In case any such representation is filed by the petitioner, the respondent no.2 shall consider and decide the same, after giving due notice and opportunity of hearing to respondent no.3, by reasoned and speaking order within a period of two months thereafter.
