HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.24792 OF 2011 ORDER: This writ petition, which is instituted due to the inaction of the respondents in considering the application submitted by the petitioner on 15.10.1997 for grant of pension under Swatantra Sainik Samman Scheme, can be disposed of right at the admission stage in view of the benefit I had in hearing Smt. Rajitha, learned Additional Standing Counsel for Government of India. 2. The petitioner has lodged his application in terms of the Swatantra Sainik Samman Pension Scheme with the Government of India on 15.10.1997. He has also enclosed thereto, the affidavit signed by Sri Nandyala Srinivas Reddy, S/o Sri Late Appareddy, resident of N.S.P. Camp Miryalaguda District, Nalgonda, to vouch for the claim of the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that his application has not been taken up for consideration so far and there is no response from the respondent-Government of India. 3. In view of the long time that has elapsed ever since the petitioner has filed his application on 15.10.1997, I consider it appropriate to direct the respondents to take an appropriate decision thereon and communicate the same on or before 31.10.2011. Registry is directed to communicate a copy of this order within one week from today. 4. With this order, the writ petition stands disposed of. No costs. __________________________________ Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao September 5, 2011 SP HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No.24792 OF 2011 September 05, 2011 SP
