Kusum Devi v. State of Uttar Pradesh and 5 Other
Case brief
What is this about?
Single-judge disposal order of the Allahabad High Court (Vikram D. Chauhan, J.) in WRIT - A No. - 6422 of 2025 (Kusum Devi v. State of U.P. and others), dated 13.5.2025. Keywords: death cum retiral dues; Class IV employee; widow; arrears and dues of deceased husband; mandamus; representation dated 27.8.024 / 29.05.2024; District Inspector of Schools, District Saharanpur (respondent no.4); decision within two months; certified copy of order; merits not decided; writ petition disposed of; no statute or precedent cited; no amount quantified. Caveat for researchers: prayer clause II recites the representation as dated 29.05.2024, whereas the counsel's submission and the operative direction recite it as dated 27.8.024; both dates appear verbatim in the text. Useful only as a direction-to-decide-representation precedent, not for any merits ruling.
What did the court decide?
Direction to respondent no.4, the District Inspector of Schools, District Saharanpur, to decide the petitioner's representation dated 27.8.024 in accordance with law, preferably within two months from production of a certified copy of the order; no monetary relief granted and the merits expressly left open.
