3. It is the case of the petitioner that her husband was employed as Handling Labour in Food Corporation of India. Thereafter, he died in the year 1999 leaving behind his legal heirs. Since the family pension scheme number of the petitioner's husband has been wrongly entered in all his service records, seeking to modify the same, the petitioner has made several representations before the 1st respondent and the last of which on 23.08.2022. However, the same was not considered. Hence the present writ petition.
4. Though very many grounds have been raised in the above writ petition, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that it would suffice if this Court issues a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 23.08.2022 and pass appropriate orders within the time frame that may be fixed by this Court.
5. The learned counsel for the 1st respondent submits that the petitioner's representation will be considered and appropriate orders will be passed in the manner known to law.
