Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.SREENIVASA RAO VELIVELA Counsel for the Respondent No.: MR.A.RAJASHEKAR REDDY (ASST SOLICITOR GEN) The Court made the following : ORDER According to the petitioner, her husband was granted pension under Swatantra Sainik Samman Pension Scheme as he participated in Rajaka Movement and that during his lifetime, he was paid the pension regularly. After his death on 19.6.2007, the petitioner submitted a representation on 22.7.2007 bringing to the notice of the respondent-authorities about the death of her husband and claiming the said pension. However, since no action has been initiated, she approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of R1, and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing on behalf of R2 and R3. It is stated by the learned counsel for the petitioner that even the wives of the persons, who were granted pension under Swatantra Sainik Samman Pension Scheme, are also entitled for the said pension. If that is the case, the petitioner is also entitled for the said pension. Admittedly, the representation, dated 22.07.2007, submitted by the petitioner is very much pending consideration before the third respondent. Hence, the third respondent is directed to forward the same to the first respondent, who in turn, shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. __________ 23-12-2008 rkk
