¶2With the consent of learned counsels for the parties, the writ petition is being decided finally.

¶3Instant petition has been filed praying for a certiorari quashing the order dated 03.10.2023 passed by respondent no.2, a copy of which is Annexure-1 to the writ petition, whereby the claim of the petitioner for being paid family pension has been rejected.

¶4At the very outset, Sri Neerav Chitravanshi, learned counsel for respondents no.2 and 3, states that the order impugned dated

03.10.2023 is in fact not an order rather it is an inter-office communication and the competent authority is yet to take a final decision on the claim of the petitioner for grant of family pension. He prays that the competent authority may be granted time to take a final decision in the matter in accordance with law.

¶5Considering the aforesaid, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the competent authority to pass a final order on the claim of the petitioner for grant of family pension.

¶6Let an order be passed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. Order Date :- 22.12.2023 A. Katiyar High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
