Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the rejection of a Freedom Fighters’ Pension claim under the Government Resolution dated 04.07.1995, which outlines specific criteria for 'Underground Freedom Fighters'. The Court held that the absence of concrete evidence of participation in the freedom struggle, as determined by the State Government, justified the rejection of the claim. The Court emphasized the necessity of meeting the stipulated requisites for pension eligibility, affirming the decision of the High Court.
