THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.25964 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner claims that he has participated in the freedom struggle. He states that he submitted an application for sanction of free fighters’ pension. When it is not being processed, he filed a writ petition and sought a direction to the respondents to place his case before the Screening Committee. On the basis of an order, dated 17.12.1997, passed by this Court, the respondents placed the matter the before the Screening Committee. The Committee, however, opined that the petitioner did not produce evidence of his suffering and participation, and accordingly, rejected his case. The same was intimated to the petitioner through a letter, dated 24.12.2000. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the letter addressed by the 1st respondent. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel for the 1st respondent, and learned Government Pleader for Revenue, for respondents 2 to 4. The 1st respondent has evolved a detailed procedure for processing the applications of freedom fighters. If there does not exist any direct evidence in the form of imprisonment certificate etc., the matters are to be placed before the Screening Committee, which mostly comprises of the participants in the struggle for freedom. In pursuance of the directions of this Court, the case of the petitioner was placed before the Screening Committee, which, in turn, opined that the petitioner failed to prove his case. Through the impugned order, the decision of the Committee was intimated to the petitioner. This Court finds it difficult to re-appreciate the findings recorded by the Screening Committee. The petitioner is not able to place any material, which would have the effect of falsifying the opinion, which would compel the Committee to reverse its opinion. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.29.03.2010. GJ
