S.M.S. Lakshmi vs The Government Of India, Represented By ... on 24 July, 2006
In and by the order in WP No. 36113 of 2003 dated 29.12.2003, the matter was remanded by this Court to the second respondent to consider the claim of the petitioner in the light of the decision of the Division Bench reported in (R. Thangavelu v. Government of India and Anr.) 1994 WLR 137 and pass orders within a period of eight weeks. After the said remand, the petitioner's application was rejected on the ground that the petitioner has not produced any documentary evidence as required in the scheme in respect of the sufferings undergone by her husband. It is also stated that the Central Government scheme for grant of pension to freedom fighters and their dependents is a distinct scheme and has no relation with the freedom fighters pension scheme of Government of Tamil Nadu, hence, the basis for claiming pension that the State Government Pension is received by the petitioner without satisfying the requirements of the Central Government Pension Scheme cannot be accepted.
