Aparesh Kumar Singh, J. - (1.) Heard learned counsels for the petitioner, Eastern Coalfields Ltd. and Coal Mines Provident Fund.
(2.) Petitioner is the widow of Late Bipin Bihari Sharma, who died in harness in July, 2000, while working on the post of Deputy Chief Mining Engineer in MI Grade. Petitioner is a beneficiary of Coal Mines Family Pension Scheme. Pay revision has been effected in the Coal Company with effect from 1st January, 1997. On petitioner's request, pay scale of her deceased husband was also revised as per Annexure 3 with effect from 1st April, 1997, but not incorrect scale. Consequently, petitioner is receiving less amount of family pension. She has approached the respondent employer, who have also recommended her case through Annexure 5 dated 17th November, 2012 and Annexure 10 reminder dated 4th May, 2015 to respondent no. 4. However, despite representations made by her as also a legal notice such as Annexure 9 to respondent no. 4, the matter has remained pending without any redressal of her grievances.
(3.) Counsel for Respondent C.M.P.F submits that grievances of the petitioner made through her representation in the light of letters written by respondent authorities of E.C.L shall be considered in accordance with law and if appropriate revision in her family pension is warranted, the same may also be done within a period of 8 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order along with representation.;
