Mainly it was rejected for the reason that the<\/p>\n<p>jail   certificate issued     by     the    Superintendent,        Central Prison,<\/p>\n<p>Thiruvananthapuram establishes jail suffering of only 4 months and 26<\/p>\n<p>days.\n<\/p>\n<p>       2.   The petitioner&#8217;s late husband was actively involved in the<\/p>\n<p>Punnapra-Vayalar struggle and an arrest warrant was issued against him by<\/p>\n<p>the Court pursuant to which, he went underground for six months. Later he<\/p>\n<p>was arrested by the Police and the First Class Magistrate Court, Cherthala<\/p>\n<p>tried the case as C.C. No.8\/124 M.E. and he was convicted and sentenced<\/p>\n<p>for six months imprisonment. It is also submitted that during the trial, her<\/p>\n<p>husband was in Sub Jail, Alappuzha for three months and after conviction<\/p>\n<p>he was imprisoned in the Central Jail, Thiruvananthapuram.<\/p>\n<p>       3. Ext.P1 is the true copy of the application dated 9.3.1998 and<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P2 is the true copy of the order of the District Collector sanctioning<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc 12538\/20010                      2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>State pension. Ext.P3 is the copy of the report of the Tahsildar<\/p>\n<p>recommending sanction for State pension. It shows that the applicant is a<\/p>\n<p>participant of Punnapra-Vayalar struggle and had undergone imprisonment<\/p>\n<p>for a total period of eight months.       Earlier, the application was not<\/p>\n<p>recommended and the late husband of the petitioner filed Ext.P5 review<\/p>\n<p>petition before the State Government. Ext.P6 certificate was also produced<\/p>\n<p>in support of the same, which shows the details of the case, conviction, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Exts.P8 and P9 are the true copies of the NARC issued from the Sub Jail,<\/p>\n<p>Alappuzha and the First Class Magistrate Court, Cherthala. By Ext.P10, the<\/p>\n<p>Central Government rejected the grant of pension which was under<\/p>\n<p>challenge in W.P.(C) NO.25817\/2006. The said writ petition was disposed<\/p>\n<p>of by Ext.P11 judgment. He died during the pendency of the said writ<\/p>\n<p>petition. Thereafter, again the matter was considered and Ext.P12 order<\/p>\n<p>has been passed.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Govt. Pleader<\/p>\n<p>and learned Central Govt. Standing Council.\n<\/p>\n<p>      5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the period of<\/p>\n<p>sentence was actually for six months which will be evident from the files<\/p>\n<p>maintained by the Collect orate, Alappuzha in connection with the sanction<\/p>\n<p>of State pension. The relevant files have been produced before this Court<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc 12538\/20010                        3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>by the learned Govt. Pleader.\n<\/p>\n<p>      6. The file contains the true extract of the convict register of the<\/p>\n<p>Central Prison, Thiruvananthapuram in respect of the husband of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner. The details of the same show that he was convicted in C.C.<\/p>\n<p>No.8\/124 M.E. of the First Class Magistrate Court, Cherthala and the<\/p>\n<p>period of sentence as six months S.I. The date of sentence was 9th Dhanu,<\/p>\n<p>1124 and expiry of sentence was 8th Midhunam, 1124. He was released on<\/p>\n<p>8.11.1124 on expiry of the sentence. For easy reference, the contents of the<\/p>\n<p>convict register are extracted below:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       &#8220;TRUE EXTRACT OF THE CONVICT REGISTER OF CENTRAL<br \/>\n                             PRISON, TRIVANDRUM.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<pre>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">       1.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the respondents<\/p>\n<p>are treating the period of conviction and sentence as one below six months,<\/p>\n<p>for the reason that the date of admission into the jail as 12th Makaram,<\/p>\n<p>1124. It is pointed out that column 23 which gives the date of release as<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc 12538\/20010                        5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>8.11.1124 will show that such a release was not a premature one but was<\/p>\n<p>after the expiry of sentence.      There was no remission for him also.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is pointed out that even though the date of admission is 12th<\/p>\n<p>Makaram, 1124 (12.6.1124), since the release was after the expiry of<\/p>\n<p>sentence, it will be evident that he was in custody from the date of<\/p>\n<p>conviction at least, even though during trial also he as in custody. It is<\/p>\n<p>therefore submitted that the view taken by the respondents cannot be<\/p>\n<p>supported.\n<\/p>\n<p>      8. Plainly, in Ext.P12 the main reason shown is that the primary<\/p>\n<p>evidence, viz. the certificate issued by the Superintendent, Central Prison,<\/p>\n<p>Thiruvananthapuram establishes jail suffering of only 4 months and 26<\/p>\n<p>days. Going by para 3 of the counter affidavit, the minimum imprisonment<\/p>\n<p>required is of six months.       Ext.P6 certificate only gives the date of<\/p>\n<p>admission and the date of release. But if the details of the extract of<\/p>\n<p>convict register, as noticed above, are analysed, it can be seen that the<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel for the petitioner is right in submitting that the late husband<\/p>\n<p>of the petitioner had suffered sentence of six months.<\/p>\n<p>      9. Evidently, the date of sentence is 9th Dhanu, 1124 (corresponding<\/p>\n<p>to 9.5.1124) and the release was on 8.11.1124. Hence, the six months<\/p>\n<p>period is satisfied.  The period cannot be calculated from 12.6.1124, viz.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc 12538\/20010                       6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the date of admission since it can be evidently seen that the release was not<\/p>\n<p>a premature one. It is recorded in column 23 of the convict register that his<\/p>\n<p>release was on expiry of sentence. In that view of the matter, it can be<\/p>\n<p>safely concluded that the late freedom fighter was released only after the<\/p>\n<p>expiry of sentence of six months. The sentence was for a period of six<\/p>\n<p>months as evident from column 16. Hence, it is evident that he was in<\/p>\n<p>custody prior to the date of admission into jail.\n<\/p>\n<p>      10. That he is a participant in Punnapra-Vayalar struggle, is evident<\/p>\n<p>from Ext.P3 report of the Tahsildar also. In the judgment Ext.P11 also,<\/p>\n<p>these aspects have been mentioned by this Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>      11. Learned counsel for the respondents submitted that the rejection<\/p>\n<p>of the claim is proper in the light of the evidence produced along with the<\/p>\n<p>application and the recommendation of the State Government. It is pointed<\/p>\n<p>out that the recommendation of the State Government was not elaborate<\/p>\n<p>also.\n<\/p>\n<p>      12. In the light of the clinching evidence by way of true extract of<\/p>\n<p>the convict register of the Central Prison, Thiruvananthapuram, the matter<\/p>\n<p>need not be relegated back to the authorities concerned, especially since the<\/p>\n<p>original files leading to the order Ext.P2 have been produced before this<\/p>\n<p>Court by the learned Govt. Pleader. The true extract of the convict register<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">wpc 12538\/20010                        7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>is one signed by the Superintendent, Central Prison, Thiruvananthapuram on<\/p>\n<p>21.8.1972.\n<\/p>\n<p>      13. Therefore, Ext.P12 is quashed. It is clear that in the light of the<\/p>\n<p>primary evidence, the applicant is eligible for grant of SSS pension. There<\/p>\n<p>will be a direction to the Central Government to sanction pension and grant<\/p>\n<p>the benefits within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy<\/p>\n<p>of this judgment. The entitlement of the petitioner for arrears from the date<\/p>\n<p>of receipt of the application, will also be considered.<\/p>\n<p>      The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                      (T.R.
