Standing Counsel, for the appellants. 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? M.M. KUMAR, J. This appeal by Union of India and its officers, filed under Clause X of the Letters Patent, challenges order dated 18.9.2009, passed by the learned Single Judge in CWP No. 843 of 2008. The learned Single Judge allowed the writ petition and consequently, directed the appellants to grant family pension to the petitioner-respondent with effect from 14.12.1977. The appellants have granted the widow petitioner-respondent family pension w.e.f. 19.4.2002. Her husband had been missing from 14.12.1977 and was not heard of by those who would have naturally heard of him. In order to arrive at this conclusion, the learned Single Judge has minutely appreciated the various documents placed on record by the petitioner to establish her claim that she had been raking up the issue with regard to the disappearance of her husband LPA No. 751 of 2010 on 14.12.1977 with various authorities right from 6.1.1978 and the learned Single Judge has considered the same to be worth credence. In view of the close examination of material evidence and the conclusion reached by the learned Single Judge there is no room for interference in appeal. Moreover, learned counsel for the appellants has not been able to assail the findings recorded by the learned Single Judge based upon the facts available on the record. Accordingly, the appeal fails and the same is dismissed. (M.M. KUMAR) JUDGE (A.N. JINDAL) July 02, 2010 JUDGE Pkapoor 2
