                     HON'BLE DINESH PATHAK, J.

1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel
representing State-respondents and perused the record on Board.

2. This writ petition has been filed, inter alia, seeking the following reliefs:

     "(i) issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus
     commanding and directing the respondent authorities to pay the
     amount death- cum- retirement gratuity to the petitioner
     alongwith with @ 9% per annum interest on the delay payment of
     amount of death- cum- retirement gratuity from the date of death
     of husband of petitioner till the date of actual payment.


     (ii) issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus
     commanding and directing the respondent No.-3 to decide the
     representation dated- 24.08.2026 filed by the (Annexure No.-7) to
     this writ petition.


     (iii) issue such other and further order or direction as this
     Hon'ble Court may deems fit and proper under the facts and
     circumstance of the case"

3. Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent nos. 1 to 5 has
contended that the grievance of the present petitioner raised in the instant
writ petition can more appropriately be redressed by the respondent no. 3
District Inspector of School (Respondent no. 3) and that he has no objection
if a direction is issued for expeditious disposal of the fresh representation, to
                                                                                             WRIA No. 14941 of 2026
                                                                    2

                                    be moved by the present petitioner, within such stipulated period, as may be
                                    directed by this Court.

                                    5. In this conspectus, as above, no useful purpose would be served by
                                    keeping this matter pending. Therefore, this Court deems it appropriate to
                                    finally dispose of the present writ petition, without expressing any
                                    opinion on the merits of the case, with liberty to the present petitioner to
                                    move a fresh representation before the District Inspector of School
                                    (respondent no. 3) ventilating his grievances, as raised in this petition,
                                    within a period of three weeks from today, along with a certified copy of
                                    this order and a self attested copy of the instant writ petition, who, in turn,
                                    shall consider and decide the same in accordance with law expeditiously,
                                    preferably, within a period of two months from the date of production of
                                    the same, if there is no other legal impediment.

                                    6. With the aforesaid directions and observations, present writ petition
                                    stands disposed of.



                                                                                              (Dinesh Pathak,J.)
