PETITIONERS AND The Government of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, represented by its Secretary, Freedom Fighters Division, Loknayak Bhavan, New Delhi-110 003 and another. … RESPONDENTS ORDER: Seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not considering the applications of the petitioners dated 30.05.2005 for grant of freedom fighter pension in pursuance of ‘Swathantra Sainik Samman Pension Scheme, 1980” is arbitrary and illegal, this writ petition is filed. The case of the petitioners is that they have participated in Hyderabad merger movement during the period from August, 1947 to September, 1948. They made representations dated 30.05.2005 to the respondents to grant them freedom fighter pension, but in vain. Hence this writ petiton. Appropriate decision has to be taken by the respondents in accordance with law. Therefore, without entering into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the second respondent to conduct enquiry in accordance with law within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and thereafter the enquiry report shall be forwarded to the first respondent. The writ petition, with the above directions, is disposed of. No costs. __________ 12.09.2005 Note: Furnish C.C. in two days. (B/O) sh
