3. It appears that the solitary relief which was granted by the Division Bench of this Court while dismissing the writ petition of the State was directing the respondents to release the pension and pensionary benefits to the employee concerned.

4.

Today, when the matter is taken up for hearing, it has been informed that the employee because ofage related issues has since passed away, though the pension and pensionary benefits were not released to the employee. It has also been informed that the employee was also not released the gratuity amount and other retirement amounts.

5.

As regards the pension and pensionary benefits, since the employee is no rhore alive and it is informed that the spouse of the employee is also pie-deceased and only the two sors of the employee survive and as regards any monetary benefit that fell due and which can be passed on to the children like gratuity and other unpaid retiral benefits, we leave it open for the children to agitate the same independently before the respondent authorities and upon such claim being made, it is expected that the \.

respondents shall properly scrutinize the same and take an appropriate decision forthwith

So far as the present contempt case is concemed; in the light of the death of the deceased employee, we close the contempt case at this juncture with the aforesaid liberty to the legal heirs of the deceased employee and discharge the respondents fiom the contempt case. There shall be no order as to costs Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed Sd/. P. CH. NAGABHUSHAMBA
