C. M. Nayar ( 1 ) THE matter relates to grant of pension to the Freedom Fighters under the Scheme known as Swatantrara Sainik Sanman Pension Scheme. The Petitioner has been granted pension on the basis of the Communication dated June 22. 1992 with effect from December 13,1991, which is filed as annexure A to the writ petition. The petitioner has two fold grievances, firstly that he has not been granted pension on the basis of the rates applicable from time to time which is presently filed at the rate of Rs. 1500. 00 per month and secondly, the pension has to be disbursed from the date of application on the basis of the judgment as reported in Mukund Lal Bhandari and others v. Union of India and others AIR 1993 Supreme Court 2127. The petitioner has made the averment in paragraph 5 and 6 of the writ petition that he duly applied for the grant of pension in the year 1985. The learned counsel, however, concedes that no further proof has been furnished by the petitioner in this regard. ( 2 ) THE respondent has not cared to file any counter affidavit and the averments made in the petition are deemed to be correct. However, since no positive proof has been filed w ith the petitioner, the respondent is directed to consider the claim of the petitioner for revised pension on the basis of parity with other similarly situated persons as well as on the basis of directions as contained in paragraph 6 of the judgment as reported in Mukund Lal Bhandari v. Union of India (supra) which reads as follows: "6 We decline to go into the facts of the undivided petitioners in this petition and direct the respondents as follows: (a) The respondents should accept the applications of the petitioners irrespective of the date on which they are made. The applications received hereafter should also be entertained without raising the plea that they are beyond the prescribed date. (b) The respondents should scrutinise every application and the evidence produced in support of the claim and dispose it of as expeditiously as possible and in any case within three months of the receipt of the application, keeping in view the laudable and sacrosanct object of the Scheme.
