2. The counter filed by the 2nd respondent reveals that
the 1st respondent remitted the matter back to the 2nd respondent
for reconsideration of the request of the petitioner. Thus, the
2nd respondent has to consider the request made by the petitioner
with regard to issue of certificate stating that the petitioner
is a destitute widow. However, the writ petition was filed in the
year 2014 and the present status of the appeal is not brought to
the notice of this Court.

¶20

3. Under these circumstances, it is for the petitioner to
pursue the appeal, if any pending, before the competent
authority. The counter filed by the 2nd respondent reveals that
the petitioner is not entitled for the destitute widow
certificate on merits. However, if any appeal is pending in this
regard, it is for the petitioner to pursue the matter in the
manner known to Law. If no certificate is submitted by the
petitioner for the purpose of securing employment, then all
appropriate action is to be initiated by the petitioner in the
manner known to law.
