In view of this statement of Shri Mahabir Singh that for these 13 petitioners no documentary evidence is available, their claim is rejected. 4. With the rejection of the claim of 13 petitioners and with the claim of petitioner 20 having been granted by government, there remain the claims of 41 petitioners. Mr Mahabir Singh states that claim of cach of these 41 petitioners is supported by relevant documents which he has produced. This assertion is not denied. In view of the same and on account of the statement made on behalf of the Union of India on the earlier occasion to the effect that in documents being produced in support of the claim, there would be no objection to grant of pension and in view of the fact that no counter has been filed challenging the specific, claims, we direct that these 41 petitioners shall be paid Freedom Fighters Pensions at least from August 1, 1980, the date from which petitioner 20 has been ordered to receive the same. While granting pension from that date the appropriate authority shall ensure that pension at varying rates from time to time is paid to the respective petitioners within three months from today.
