Ramachandran Nair, J.

Heard learned counsel appearing for the appellant and

learned Government Pleader for the respondents.

2. The appellant is the widow of a person, who claimed

pension as a freedom fighter. The claim of the appellant’s late

husband was considered with reference to the norms for

granting SSS Pension payable by the Central Government.

However, the learned Single Judge on verifying the records

produced by the Government found that there is nothing to

indicate that he was an accused and was a prisoner, or was

absconding pursuant to any case registered against him.

Consequently, the appellant’s husband was found ineligible for

the SSS Pension.

We do not find any merit in the Writ Appeal as the

appellant’s husband neither during his life time, nor the

W.A.No.1963/2010
-2-

appellant after death of her husband could establish that he is

eligible for pension with reference to the Pension Scheme.

Consequently, this Writ Appeal is dismissed.
