(hereinafter 'the deceased'). It is, thus, stated that there are two nominated sons of deceased. The concerned Department, therefore, repeatedly requested the petitioner as well as nominated sons to report in the Pension Cell, DCP/T/HQ Office, for settlement of the family pension case and disbursement of the consequential benefits.

3.

Though learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has not received any communication, however, at this stage, the said fact may not have any relevance.

4.

Since under the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 2021, the valid nominated persons are authorized to reap the benefits of the deceased, therefore, the Court cannot issue the directions for conferment of the benefits to the petitioner who has not been nominated by the deceased. 5.

If the petitioner has any valid claim, the same will have to be adjudicated by the Court of competent jurisdiction. The petitioner, therefore, is granted liberty to avail that remedy. 6.

In view thereof, with the aforesaid liberty, the instant petition stands disposed of.
