HON’BLE SHRI G.S. SINGHVI, THE CHIEF JUSTICE WRIT PETITION NO. 35339 OF 1997 BETWEEN Ankilla Venkata Rami Reddy & others ………Petitioners And The Union of India Rep. by its Deputy Secretary (Home), Freedom Fighters Pension Division, New Delhi & others. ………Respondents :: O R D E R:: Counsel for the Petitioners : None Counsel for the Respondents : Shri A. Rajasekhar Reddy Assistant Solicitor General Dated: 08.08.2006 In this petition, Ankilla Venkata Rami Reddy and 23 others have prayed for issue of a direction to the respondents to pay them pension under Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension Scheme, 1980. Although, learned counsel for the petitioners has not appeared, I do not consider it desirable to defer adjudication of the writ petition, which has remained pending for almost nine years more so because Shri A. Rajasekhar Reddy, learned Assistant Solicitor General representing respondent No.1 fairly says that the writ petition may be disposed of in terms of order passed today in Writ Petition No.8380 of 1997. In view of the statement made by Shri Rajasekhar Reddy, I do not consider it necessary to delve deep into the merits of the claim made by the petitioners and dispose of the writ petition in terms of order passed in Writ Petition No.8380 of 1997, which shall be read as part of this order. G.S.SINGHVI, CJ ksld 08.08.2006
