By order dated 01/12/2011, I directed the Government Pleader as follows: “The Government Pleader shall see that a copy of the order passed by the State Government on the application of the petitioner along with a copy of the judgment in PE 10/1122 referred to in the counter affidavit filed by the 3rd respondent is produced before this Court on 14/12/2011. Post as the 1st item in the weekly list commencing 12/12/2011.” The Government Pleader has filed a memo today along with a copy of order dated 26/09/2007 stated to have been filed rejecting the claim of the petitioner and forwarding the papers to the Union Government not recommending the case of the petitioner for grant of Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension. In view of the said order, the petitioner's remedy lies in challenging the said order appropriately. Without prejudice to that right the writ petition is dismissed. Since the State Government has not served that order on the petitioner, I direct the State Government to pay an amount of Rs.10,000/-as costs to the petitioner. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE STU 2 3
