THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.475 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner filed W.P.No.22783 of 2009, stating that his application for grant of Freedom Fighter’s Pension was not processed by the respondent. The writ petition was disposed of on 23.10.2009, directing the respondent to finalize the matter, relating to the sanction of pension to the petitioner, within a period of three months. The Contempt Case is filed, alleging that the respondent has not complied with the directions. The respondent filed a detailed counter-affidavit. He stated that the application of the petitioner is under verification by the State Government, and in spite of repeated reminders, the State Government did not offer its remarks. Copies of letters, dated 05.03.2010 and 12.04.2010, are enclosed. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent. It is no doubt true that this Court stipulated three months time for finalizing of the matter, relating to the sanction of Freedom Fighter’s Pension to the petitioner. It is not as if the respondent remained indifferent, or oblivious. It is the State Government, which can verify the relevant facts and submit its report. In spite of repeated reminders from the respondent, there is no reaction from the State Government. The petitioner did not implead the State Government in the writ petition. Hence, the Contempt Case is closed. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dated:02.09.2010 GJ
