O R D E R

Mr.Rajasimman, learned counsel takes notice on behalf of the respondents.

2.This writ petition has been filed for issuance of a direction, directing the 2nd respondent to conduct an enquiry to prove the bonafide claims content in the letter dated 14.08.2018. 3.The petitioner is the legal heir of one Ulaganathan, who was employed under the first respondent. After his death, when she approached the authorities for disbursement of terminal benefits, it was informed that nomination was given in favour of someone else. According to the petitioner, there is no other legal heir to the deceased Ulaganathan. Since there appears some foul play in respect of nomination, she sought for an enquiry in this matter. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/2
