True copy tga KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ----------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.15146 of 2004 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of June, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner is aggrieved since his claim for pension on compassionate grounds on account of his long service as Heriditory Village Officer is denied. The stand taken in the counter affidavit apparently is that no evidence is available to prove the service of the petitioner. According to the petitioner given an opportunity he will be in a position to convince the Government that he is entitled to the compassionate pension since he can produce the available evidence before the Government. Accordingly this writ petition is disposed of as follows. In the event of the petitioner approaching the Government by producing materials to show that he had service as Heriditory Village Officer, untrammelled by the stand already taken by the Government the matter will be considered afresh with notice to the petitioner and appropriate action in accordance with law will be taken within another three months.
