This order disposes of a writ appeal filed by an appellant challenging an order dismissing her writ petition for 100% family pension. The appeal was dismissed because the first respondent had subsequently authorized the full family pension with arrears prior to the hearing, rendering the relief moot.

JUDGMENT (Order of the Court was made by HULUVADI G. RAMESH,J.) Aggrieved by the order of dismissal of the writ petition, the unsuccessful writ petitioner has come up with the present writ appeal.
2.When the appeal was taken up for consideration, the learned standing counsel for the first respondent filed a memo dated 14.11.2017, wherein, it has been stated as follows:
“The appellant had initially filed W.P. to quash the order dated 09.05.2017 and sought for consequential direction to grant 100% full family pension to the petitioner under PPO No.17969/FA with arrears from April 2013. However, by order dated 29.06.2017, the W.P. came to be dismissed at the admission stage.
Challenging the order in W.P., the above W.A. came to be filed. However, on notice, this respondent by proceedings dated 20.10.2017 had authorized 100% family pension to the appellant. Thus, the relief sought for by the appellant has been met and nothing survives in the appeal.”
Along with that memo, a copy of the authorization letter dated 20.10.2017 issued by the first respondent, in favour of the appellant herein, has been enclosed.
3.Recording the same, the writ appeal stands disposed of, in the light of the aforesaid memo dated 14.11.2017 filed by the first respondent. No costs.
