COCP No. 171 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH COCP No. 171 of 2010 Date of decision:- 14.9.2010 Sawaran Singh ......petitioner vs. Sh. Om Parkash Under Secretary ......respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present: - Mr. Gurnam Singh, Advocate for the petitioner Ms. Anjali Kukkar, Advocate for respondent. HEMANT GUPTA, J (ORAL) Petitioner is the son of Jagat Singh, a Freedom Fighter. Jagat Singh filed a writ petition before this Court claiming Freedom Fighter pension which was allowed on 25.1.2008. In terms of the said order, the pension to Jagat Singh as Freedom Fighter was restored vide order dated 8.5.2008 (Annexure R-1). Learned counsel for the petitioner states that Jagat Singh has since died on 31.10.2008. Therefore, the arrears of pension is payable to him as the nominee of his deceased father. The said argument is meaning less as the petitioner was a nominee in a Bank Account of the deceased. Such nomination does not entitle the pension to receive undisbursed payments as well. Faced with the difficulty, learned counsel for the petitioner states that he shall produce the succession certificate before the authorities for disbursement of the amount of arrears of pension to the COCP No. 171 of 2010 -2- eligible heirs. In view of the said situation, the present petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to produce the succession certificate before the competent authority for disbursement of the arrears of pension according to law.
