THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 680 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner submitted an application for grant of freedom fighter pension. The application was verified at various stages and the Government of India in Ministry of Home Affairs, 3rd respondent herein, addressed a letter, dated 07.01.2008 to the State Government, 1st respondent herein, to re-verify the matter and submit a report. The 1st respondent in turn addressed letter, dated 12.02.2008, to the District Collector, 2nd respondent herein, to submit a re-verification duly following the latest revised check list. The grievance of the petitioner is that no action has been taken by the 2nd respondent so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner is very old and the application submitted by him for grant of freedom fighter pension has been processed up to a very advanced stage. The 1st respondent wanted the 2nd respondent to submit a re- verification report. The matter of this nature cannot be kept pending indefinitely. Nearly one year has elapsed. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to submit a re-verification report as directed by the 1st respondent within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The 1st respondent in turn shall forward re-verification report to the 3rd respondent thereafter. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 28.01.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 680 of 2009 Date: 28.01.2009 JSU
