IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.563 of 2005 Date: 14th December, 2010 Between: Nagireddy Venkat Narsimha Reddy .. Petitioner And The Deputy Secretary to the Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, New Delhi. .. Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.563 of 2005 ORAL ORDER: In spite of grating two adjournments in the matter, none appeared for petitoner nor there was any representation on his behalf. It appears, petitioner was granted Pension under ‘Swathantra Sainik Samman’ scheme with effect from 3.1.2003. The grievance of the petitoner is since the scheme was introduced on 1.8.1980 and merely because pension was granted on 3.1.2003, he cannot be denied with arrears from 1.8.1980. There is no necessity of going into all the details. The learned Assistant Solicitor General appearing for respondent relied upon the judgment of the Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No.2325 of 1995 dated 24.4.1995, whereunder it is held that pension will be given from the date of the order and not from the date of application or introduction of the scheme. In view of the same, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 14.12.2010 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.563 of 2005 14.12.2010
