The Supreme Court dismissed the writ petition under Article 32 of the Constitution, stating that cases claiming pension for freedom fighters should be addressed by the High Court rather than directly in the Supreme Court. The Court observed that many such petitions arise from State Governments' findings of ineligibility for pension, and it emphasized the need to discourage direct petitions under Article 32 for these matters. The petitioner was granted liberty to approach the High Court if desired.
