The petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that the State Government has not taken any action for recommending the name of the petitioner for grant of Swatantra Senani Samman Pension. Counsel appearing on behalf of the Union of India submits that unless there is a recommendation by the State Government, no final decision can be taken in this regard. I accordingly direct that the petitioner should produce a copy of this order before the concerned authorities within one month along with a representation. The State authorities on receipt of the representation will examine the fact that they had already recommended the case of the petitioner vide Annexure 2. If so, the State Government is directed to send the said recommendation to the Central Government within two months of receipt of a copy of this order. It goes without saying that the Central Government should accordingly satisfy itself and thereafter consider the case of the petitioner within two months on receipt of the recommendation of the State Government. 2 This writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observation and direction. haque ( Sheema Ali Khan, J .)
