IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.695 of 2008 OM PRAKASH PASWAN Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- For the appellant: Mr. Arun kumar Tiwari For the respondent nos. 1 to 8 : Mr. Sudhir Kumar Singh --- P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice And Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal --- Dated, the 8th September, 2008 Office objection is overruled. 2.We heard the counsel for the appellant on merit of the appeal. 3. The counsel for the appellant has not been able to show anything from the Freedom Fighter Pension Scheme, 1980 that a son of a deceased freedom fighter has only right to pension under the Scheme. In this view of the matter, even if we assume that the original petitioner was freedom fighter, on his death right to sue cannot survive upon the appellant. 4. In this view of the matter, dismissal of the application for substitution by the single judge cannot be said to be erroneous. 5. Letters patent appeal is, accordingly, dismissed in limine. R. M. Lodha, CJ. Kishore K. Mandal, J. Neyaz/
