This Writ Petition has been filed seeking for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the second respondent to consider the Petitioner's representation, dated 23.09.2014 and 6.3.2017 and to continuously give Indira Gandhi National Old Age Widow Sponsored Scheme Amount in future months and to pay the arrears of 33 months from August 2014.

2.The case of the Petitioner is that her husband died and thereafter she applied for Widow Sponsored Scheme to the respondents. The second respondent gave Indira Gandhi National Old Age Widow Sponsored Scheme amount from 24.7.2000 every month till August 2014. However, from August 2014, she was not paid the amount and hence she in person, gave a representation to the second respondent on 23.09.2014 and thereafter, submitted another representation to the first respondent on 6.3.2017 on the Grievance Day. Since no order was passed, the present Writ Petition is filed.
