The Deputy Secretary, Department of Home (Special), Government of Bihar, Patna. 6. The District Magistrate, Darbhanga, Bihar. …. …. Respondents ----------- 2. 24.8.2009. Heard counsel for the parties. The admitted position is that though freedom fighters pension was paid to the husband of the petitioner, namely, Late Sunder Jha but the same came to be stopped on a complaint way back in 1977. After 1977 the matter has been raised for the first time in 2007 at the instance of a Member of Parliament and the petitioner has now filed a writ application in the year 2009 seeking a direction upon the respondents to grant her family pension against the said freedom fighter pension. This Court cannot and is not willing to entertain a stale and belated claim of this kind after more than three decades. It is a misplaced writ application and is accordingly dismissed.
