No.1963 of 2010 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 1st day of December, 2010 J U D G M E N T Ramachandran Nair, J. Heard learned counsel appearing for the appellant and learned Government Pleader for the respondents. 2. The appellant is the widow of a person, who claimed pension as a freedom fighter. The claim of the appellant's late husband was considered with reference to the norms for granting SSS Pension payable by the Central Government. However, the learned Single Judge on verifying the records produced by the Government found that there is nothing to indicate that he was an accused and was a prisoner, or was absconding pursuant to any case registered against him. Consequently, the appellant's husband was found ineligible for the SSS Pension. We do not find any merit in the Writ Appeal as the appellant's husband neither during his life time, nor the W.A.No.1963/2010 -2- appellant after death of her husband could establish that he is eligible for pension with reference to the Pension Scheme. Consequently, this Writ Appeal is dismissed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) (BHABANI PRASAD RAY, JUDGE) jg
