4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner’s husband namely Mohd. Ibraheem passed away on 25.11.2007, while working as Head Master at Noble UPS (UM)

Aided School at Nizamabad. However, the respondents have not released the family benefits and death-cum-retirement benefits of the petitioner’s husband so far, though the proceedings were initiated way back in the year 2021 itself. It is further submitted that respondent No.2 forwarded letter dated 27.08.2021 to respondent No.6 requesting to accord sanction for admissible amount of Rs.10,85,655/- in favour of the petitioner, which was issued following the pension proposals sent by respondent No.6 on 04.07.2022. Further, though PPO number is allotted vide 02SCGC004548-FP, the admissible amount was not granted in favour of the petitioner. As such, the petitioner submitted a representation to respondent No.5 on 16.12.2024 requesting to release the arrears claim/undrawn family pension and to regularize family pension in favour of the petitioner. However, no action has been taken by respondent No.5 so far.

5. Learned Government Pleader appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 3 to 5 fairly submits that respondent No.5 will consider the representation dated 16.12.2024 submitted by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law.
