Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed 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 emphasized that the requisite documentation, including certificates from recognized freedom fighters and evidence of participation in the freedom struggle, must be provided to substantiate the claim. The Court held that the appellant's husband did not meet the stipulated criteria, thus affirming the High Court's decision to reject the pension application.
