HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION Nos.1740 and 14344 of 2004, 20598, 21585 and 18946 of 2006 COMMON ORDER: In all these five writ petitions, common questions of law and fact arise for consideration, and therefore, they are being disposed of by this common order. According to the petitioners, they are the freedom fighters and fought for the liberation of Nizam State and they were in the border camps avoiding arrest from the police. As per the scheme evolved by the State Government and Central Government, they are entitled for Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension Scheme. Earlier, in 1997, a committee was constituted and the name of the petitioner in W.P.No.1740 of 2004 was recommended, however, the same was not considered. The case of the other petitioners in W.P.Nos.14344 of 2004, 20598, 21585 and 18946 of 2006 is that their pension which was already granted was cancelled, therefore, these writ petitions. In fact, the petitioners filed earlier some writ petitions also and there was a direction to consider their case. But their cases were not considered. Now the grievance of the petitioners is that an “Eminent Freedom Fighters Committee” has been constituted and revised ‘checklist’ was asked to be furnished by the eligible people, after obtaining a verification report from the State Government. Under those circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, all the five Writ Petitions are disposed of directing the petitioners to submit fresh applications along with revised check list and certificates obtained by them from the border camp in-charges etc., and the State Government may verify the same and submit a report to the first respondent within a period of two months from the date of making such applications by the petitioners and the first respondent shall immediately, thereafter, place the same, before the Eminent Freedom Fighters Committee which is constituted for the purpose. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 01st February, 2010 SKM
