THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3772 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner has submitted an application for grant of freedom fighter pension on 12.12.1997. As there was no action by the respondents, he along with others filed W.P.No.2292 of 2004 before this Court, and this Court through its order, dated 10.10.2006 directed the third respondent to place the applications before the Chairman, Freedom Fighters Screening Committee for recommendation. Thereafter, the third respondent verified the applications, and addressed a letter to the second respondent to submit proposals to the first respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the second respondent has already forwarded his application to the first respondent with a recommendation vide proceedings dated 2.11.2009, no action has been taken so far by the first respondent. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Ponna Ashok Goud, learned Assistant Solicitor General for first respondent. The petitioner is very old, and the application submitted by him for grant of freedom fighters pension has been processed up to a very advanced stage. Re-verification was conducted and a report was also submitted. The matter of this nature cannot be kept pending indefinitely. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to complete processing of application submitted by the petitioner within a period of three months from today and intimate the result thereof to the petitioner so as to enable him to take further steps. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J 19th February, 2010 Js.
