ORDER
The relief sought for in the present writ petition is to direct the respondents 1 to 3 to take appropriate disciplinary action against the fourth respondent and further enter the name of the petitioner and her children in the Service Register as nominee. 2.The petitioner is working as a Driver in the respondent Transport Corporation. The writ petitioner claims that she is the legally wedded wife of the fourth respondent employee. The first limb of the prayer is to direct the respondent to initiate appropriate disciplinary action.
3.The learned counsel for the respondent states that disciplinary actions were already initiated and the punishment of stoppage of increment for one year was imposed. Thus, disciplinary proceedings were concluded.
4.Regarding the enter of the name of the writ petitioner in the Service Register, the petitioner has to establish her marital status before the competent Civil Court of Law. If the same is established before the Competent Court of Law and if such judgment of decree is produced, then alone, the authority has to initiate appropriate action. As the adjudication cannot be done either in a writ petition or by the competent authority, the petitioner is at liberty to approach the competent of Court of law for getting appropriate relief.
5.With theses observations, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.
