 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO:1051/2009 (Wamanrao Raghobaji Ganar vs. Collector Wardha and others) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memorandum of Coram Court's or Judges Order appearances, Court's orders of directions & Registrar's orders. ................................................................................................................................... CORAM: D.D.SINHA & A. P. BHANGALE , JJ. DATED: 17th March, 2009. *** Heard Mr N D Khamborkar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr S J Jichkar, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Respondents 1 and 2. 2. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that petitioner fulfills all the conditions and also has requisite documentary evidence to establish that petitioner is eligible to get freedom fighter's pension. In the impugned communication though it is mentioned that the petitioner has not furnished certain documents to show that he has taken part in the struggle for freedom of Goa, however, the petitioner states that he does have these documents as well as copies of relevant newspapers. It is in these circumstances, permission is sought to approach the Competent Authority once again. 3. It is no doubt true that the claim of the petitioner for grant of freedom fighter's pension  on earlier occasion was rejected by the Competent Authority for want of necessary documents as well as fulfillment of certain essential conditions. However, if the petitioner is in position to fulfill all the conditions and is in possession of the requisite documents to substantiate his claim for freedom fighter pension, we see no reason why the petitioner should not be granted liberty to approach the Authority. 4. In the circumstances, we dispose of the petition with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Competent Authority if the petitioner fulfills all the conditions as well as submits all the requisite documents in support of his claim before the Competent Authority. It is made clear that the impugned communication dated 15.11.1999 as well as the order of review, shall not come in the way of reconsideration of the claim of the petitioner for grant of freedom fighter's pension. Steno copy allowed. JUDGE JUDGE sahare
