is submitted that the impugned order is untenable, having been passed on the specious and unsustainable ground that the petitioner had not mentioned the details of the parents of deceased persons, for the purpose of issuance of Surviving Member Certificate.

Let the same be done as expeditiously as possible, and preferably within a period of four weeks from today.
