Subject: Earmarked seats for freedom fighters- Instructions thereof.

Memo:-
Reference is invited to the correspondence ended with this office memo.
Of even number dated the 17
th
September,1997 on the above noted subject.
2. Still it has been noticed that earmarked seats for freedom fighters in every kind of
H.R.T.C. buses are not vacated/made available to the freedom fighters on their boarding
the buses enroute. Crew of the buses do not take already occupying seats No.8-9 politely
and generously despite issue of instructions from this office from time to time. Non
implementation of the circulated instructions is also putting the corporation to criticism.
3. Therefor, it is, once again emphasized that suitable instruction may be issued to
the crew to make possible efforts for getting the seats vacated for freedom fighters when
they board the buses.
Please acknowledge receipt.

Subject: Earmarked seats for freedom fighters- Instructions thereo

Memo:
Please refer to the chain of instructions issued last being circulated on
17
th
Sep.1997 and 22 December,1997 regarding providing of earmarked seats available to
the Freedom Fighters immideately when they board the buses. But it appears that those
instructions are not being followed pratically as per the feed back received from various
quarters incuding the Commissioner-cum-Secy.(GAD). The State Govt. has taken such
laspses seriously as no leniency can be shown on this account.

You are , therefore, once again advised to repeat these instrtuctions to the
crew that earmarked seats i.e. 8-9 Nos. may be got vacated/made available whenever
Freedom Fighters board the bus.
Please acknowledge.

4. Cases Recommended by Committees

The Government of India had constituted certain non official Screening Committees, such as

the cases where primary evidences from official records were not available due to efflux of time.
These Committees consisted of the prominent freedom fighters who were leading lights of the
movements for freedom of the nation or for merger of the princely states in the Union of India. The
Committees were expected to recommended the genuine claims of freedom fighters who fulfilled the
criteria for the pension as laid down in the Scheme. In other words, neither nature of the suffer-ings
nor their period was relaxed in the cases considered by such Committees. Recommendation of the
Committees is advisory in nature and the Govt. of India could accept or reject such recommen-
dations. The cases recommended by the Committees could also be referred to the State Govern-
ments for such verification as was deemed appropriate.

5. Acceptability of Secondary Evidence

Secondary evidence can be considered only if supported by a valid NARC. The
provisions of the Scheme were clarified to the State Governments in several circulars of the
Govt. of India, gist of which is available in the Appendix attached herewith. The Instructions on
NARC were reiter-ated by the Govt. of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, vide Circular No.
8/12/95-FF (P) dated 2.11.98, relevant extracts of which are reproduced as follows:-

As per the scheme, claims of the applicants for samman pension are required to be sup-
ported by the duly verified official records of the relevant times. Only in case of non-availability
of such records, secondary evidences, as specified in the scheme, can be made basis of such
claims. However, due care and caution is required in such cases in view of several instances of
bogus/ forged claims which have come to the notice of the Central Government. It is of utmost
importance that before recommending such cases, complete facts of the case in which the
applicant claims involvement, are verified from all the agencies which could have been
concerned with the matter. These may include the police station concerned, the District
administration, the jurisdictional court, competent authority issuing detention order, the advisory
board/appellate court, prison authorities, and intelligence agencies. Discrete enquiry should also
be made to ascertain genuineness of the claims. The NARC should be issued only after the above
verification. It is relterated that the NARC should invariably be worded as follows

All concerned authorities of the State Government who could have relevant records
in respect of the claim of the applicant, have been consulted and It is confirmed that the
official records of the relevant time are not available.

6. Important Judicial pronouncements in the context of the Scheme.

Appendix D gives gist of important principles laid down by Honble Supreme Court and
the High Courts in the context of the Scheme.

--127- -

7. Most common reasons for rejection of claims of Samman Pension

The following is an illustrative list of the most common reasons for rejection of claims or
nonacceptance of the recommendation of a State Government under the SSSP Scheme 1980.

i. Non-submission of application in the prescribed form supported by specified evidences
duly verified by the State Government.

ii. Non-recommendation of the claim by the State Government. Mere forwarding by the

iii. Recommendation of the claim by the State Government without verification of the

sentations etc. or contradiction between the claims and evidences furnished.

viii. Forgery, mis-representation of facts regarding documents, age etc.

ix. Certifier and the applicant not belonging to the same districts (In case of underground
sufferings).

x. Period of Imprisonment of applicant not tallying with that of the certifiers in case of CPCs.

xi. Applicant claiming to be part of others mentioned in Court document pertaining to some
case related to freedom struggle, without adducing reliable evidence in support of the claim.

APPENDIX - A

SWATANTRATA SAINIK SAMMAN PENSION SCHEME, 1980.

FORMERLY KNOWN AS

FREEDOM FIGHTERS PENSION SCHEME, 1972.

15TH AUGUST, 1981.

INTRODUCTION

During Twentyfifth anniversary (Silver Jubilee year) of Independence a Central Scheme
for the grant of pension to freedom fighters and their families from Central Revenues was
introduced by the Government of India. The Scheme commenced from 15th August, 1972 and
provided for the grant of pension to living freedom fighters and their families; if they are no
more alive, and to the families or martyrs. The minimum quantum of pension sanctioned to a
freedom fighters by Rs. 200/ - p.m. and in case of families varied from Rs. 100/- to Rs. 200/- in
accordance with the size and number of eligible dependents in the family. Till 31st July, 1980 the
Freedom fighters pension was admissible only to those who were in need of financial assistance
on account of their meager annual gross income. Thus an annual income ceiling of Rs. 5000/-
was enforced for eligibility to pension. From 1.8.1980, the benefit of the pension scheme has
been extended to all freedom fighters as a token of Samman to them.

2. ENHANCED RATE OF PENSION

Not only the income ceiling has been removed from 1st August, 1980 but quantum of
monthly pension has also been raised. The monthly pension has thus been increased from Rs.
200/- to Rs. 300/- in case of living freedom fighters and from Rs. 100/- to Rs. 200/- to the widow
of the late freedom fighter with additional Rs. 50 p.m. each for unmarried daughter upto a
maximum limit of Rs. 300/- per month.

3. WHO ARE ELIGIBLE DEPENDENTS

For the purpose of grant of Samman pension, family includes (if the freedom fighter is not
alive) mother, father, widower/widow if he/she has not since remarried, unmarried daughters.

Not more than one eligible dependent can be granted pension and in the event of
availability of more than one dependent the sequence of eligibility will be widow/widower,
unmarried daugh-ters, mother and father.

4. WHO IS ELIGIBLE ?

For the purpose of grant of samman pension under the scheme, a freedom fighter is :-

(a) A person who had suffered a minimum imprisonment of six months in the mainland
jails before independence on account. However, ex-INA personnel will be eligible
for pension if the imprisonment/detention suffered by them was outside India.

(b) The minimum period of actual imprisonment for eligibility of pension has been reduced
to three months, in case of women and SC/ST freedom fighters from 1.8.1980.

--129--

Explanation

1. Detention under the orders of the competent authority will be considered as imprisonment.

2. Period of normal remission upto one month will be treated as part of actual imprisonment.

3. In the case of a trial ending in conviction, under trial period will be counted towards
actual imprisonment suffered.

4. Broken period of imprisonment will be totalled up for computing the qualifying period.

(b) A person who remained underground for more than six months provided he was :

1. a proclaimed offender; or

2. one on whom an award for arrest/head was announced; or

3. one for whose detention order was issued but not served.

(c) A person interned in his home or externed from his district provided the period of intern-
ment/externment was six months or more.

(d) A person whose property was confiscated or attached and sold due to participation in the
freedom struggle.

(e) A person who became permanently incapacitated during firing or lathi charge.

(f) A person who lost his job (central or state Government) and thus means of livelihood for

APPENDIX-D

GIST OF LEADING JUDICIAL PRONOUNCEMENTS IN THE CONTEXT OF
SWATANTRATA SAINIK SAMMAN PENSION SCHEME

1.0 Pension subject to proof required under the scheme:-

The scheme came up for consideration of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Mukand Lal Bhandari &
others Vs Union of India AIR 1993 SC 2127. We quote there from a few observations mad by
their Lordships.

"The petitioners would undoubtedly be entitled to the benefit of the Scheme pro-vided,
course, they produce the relevant material in support of their claim".

"As regards the sufficiency of the proof, the Scheme itself mentions the documents which
are required to be produced before the Government. It is not possible for this court to scrutinize
the documents which according to the petitioners, they had produced in sup-port of their claim
and pronounce upon their genuineness. It is the function of the Government to do so. We would,
therefore, direct accordingly."

"The pension should, of course, be sanctioned only after the required proof is produced."

1.1 Following the aforesaid principle, Hon'ble High Court of Delhi, in its order dated 12th
August, 1998 in CWP No. 4368/95 in the matter of Shri B.M.Rao Vs.UOI and oths., observed

"in the case at hand, the petitioner has failed to prove his eligibility for entitlement under
the Scheme by tendering the proof of the nature and in the manner contemplated by the Scheme.
The rejection of the petitioner's claim by Central Government cannot be found fault with."

1.2 In state of H.P. and another Vs. Smt. Jafil Devi 1997 (5) SCC 301, the Supreme Court has
held in the context of a beneficial scheme for compassionate appointment that the policy lack
down by the Govt. should not be departed from merely on account of sym-pathetic consideration
and hardship.

2.0 Limits of Judicial Review Under Art.226 of the Constitution

Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Union of India Vs Mohan Singh and others. (JT 1996(8)
S.C.341) has held -

"This Court in Mukand Lal Bhandari and others Vs. Union of India and others. [(1993)
SUPP. 3 SCC 2 (para 6)] had held, as regards the sufficiency of the proof, that he Scheme itself
mentions the documents which are required to be produced before the Government. It is not
possible for this Court to scrutinize the documents which according to the petitioners they had
produced in support of their claim, and pronounce upon their genuineness. It is the function of the
Government to do so. We would, therefore, direct accordingly."

2.1 The issue again came up before the Apex Court in the case of Union of India Vs.
R.V.Swamy Air 1997 SC 2069. Hon'ble Supreme Court, after considering the issue at length,
held -

"In this case, the evidence does indicate that there is no proof of any warrant issued
against the respondent as a proclaimed offender nor is there any evidence of actual proof
indicating actual sentence." ( para 7)

"Under these circumstances, the reliance on persons
mentioned in the judgment of the High Court evidence." (
para 8)
the certificate issued by the is a
matter of appreciation of

"In view of the above consideration, it being a pure appreciation of evidence, the High
Court was not justified in directing grant of freedom fighter pension to the respondent."
( para 10)

"Of late, large number of cases have been coming up quite frequently for grant of
Freedom Fighter Pension on the basis of the certificate issued by some pensions with status of
freedom fighters and are by and large not found to be acceptable to the Government of India.
Since several matters are coming up to this Court, It is for the Government of India to re-
consider the matter and to lay down appropriate clear guidelines for the so-called freedom
fighters who issued certificates to persons who come forward for Freedom Fighters Pension.
Learned Counsel for the respondent has stated that since the State Government has
recommended the case of deceased - respondent for grant of Freedom Fighter Pension, the
respondent widow may be given liberty to approach the State government in that behalf. Liberty
is given to her to approach the State Government. It is for the State Government to consider the
application according to their guidelines and dispose it of on merits." ( para 11)

In compliance with the directions of the apex court in para 11 ibid, the issue of secondary
evidences such as NARC, PKC and CPC was reconsidered by the and detailed guidelines were
issued by the Govt. of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, vide Circular No. 8/6/98-FF(P) dated
13.07.98 and 02.11.98.

2.2 The limits of judicial review have been succinctly explained by Hon'ble Mr. Justice
Sachchidanand Jha of Patna High Court in judgment dated 15.3.2000 in the case of Baijnath
Singh Vs. The State of Bihar and Others - Civil Writ jurisdiction case No.6752 of 1996, as
under-

"While making judicial review of administrative decision, the court is not sup-posed to
sit as Appellate Authority, and substitute its own findings in place of findings recorded by the
authorities. As is often said, the court while making judicial review has to see the correctness or
otherwise of the decision making process and not the correct-ness of the decision itself. Where
the court finds that there were materials available be-fore the authority, on the basis of which the
impugned decision could be arrived at, it is not supposed to go in to the question of adequacy of
the material. In the context of dispute relating to grant of freedom fighters pension, in the well
known case of Mukund Lal Bhandari Vs. UOI, AIR 1993 SC 2127, the Apex Court observed as
under -

As regard the sufficiency of the proof, the Scheme itself mentions the documents which are
required to be produced before the Government. It is not possible for this court to scrutinize the
documents which according to the petitioners, they had produced in support of their claim and
pronounce upon their genuineness. It is the function of the government to do so. We would,
there-fore, direct accordingly.

The question as to whether the person was freedom fighter or not is to be decided by the
competent authority of the Government and not by this court. This court is merely to see
whether there were materials before the authority in coming to the adverse conclusion."

2.3 The Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka at Bangalore in its order dated 15th April, 1998 in
W.P.No 22912/1993 between M.A.Rawal and Union of India and another has held-
"Regarding sufficiency or otherwise of the material produced and regarding the
genuiness or otherwise of the documents produced by the petitioner, It is for the Government to
consider and this court cannot embark upon the same".

--138--

--139--

2.4 The Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka at Bangalore in its judgement dated 21st Novem-
ber, 1997 on W.P No.925/1995 between P.V. Shetty and Union of India and another has held-

"The scheme contains the provisions as to how such imprisonment or underground
suffer-ing should be proved. First respondent has made it clear that in the absence of a primary
evidence i.e. certificate from the jail showing imprisonment, petitioner should produce personal
knowledge certificate from other persons who were imprisoned at least for two years. Petitioner
has not produced such certificate and therefore rejection cannot be said to be arbitrary and
unreasonable. In UNION OF INDIA Vs. MOHAN SIGH reported in JT 1996(8) Sc 34, the
Supreme Court has cautioned that only the Government can pronounce on the genuineness of
documents produced for claiming pension and the High Court, under writ jurisdiction shall
not embark upon reappreciation of the evidence."

2.5 Again the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka in W.P. No.2175/97 in the case of H.L.Linge
Gowda Vs. The state of Karnataka & UOI, has, vide order dtd.29-19-98, held that-

"The court is not sitting in appeal over the orders of the second respondent. The second
respondent has formulated Swatantrata Sainik Samman pension Scheme in the year 1972
( amended from time to time). Unless an applicant "satisfies the requirements of the said
scheme, the will not be entitled for pension under the said scheme".

2.6 Hon'ble Mr.Justice Aftab Alam of Hon'ble Higher Court of Patna in the order dated 24.3.99 in
C.W.J.C. No.3741 of 1998 in the case of Shri Dina Nath Pathak Vs. UOL and Others has held-

"It is evident that the Central Government took a decision on the petitioners claim after
due consideration of all the material facts and circumstances. This court does not sit in appeal
over a decision of the Central Govt. and suffice it to note that the concerned authorities took
the decision after due consideration of all material facts and circumstances of the case."

3.0 Date from which pension should be granted- Retrospective or Prospective:-

The Hon'ble Supreme Court had held in Mukund Lal Bhandari's case that pension should
be granted from the date of application. Subsequent to this the apex court has held that in cases where
benefit of doubt was given and the status of freedom fighter was recognized on that basis, the benefit
will be given from the date of the Order and not the date of application. [Union of India and
Oths.Vs.Ganesh Chand Dolal and Oths.-Civil Appeal of 1995 arising out of S.L.P. (C) No. 2325 of
1995-Judgement dated 24th April 1995 and Union of India Vs M.R Chelliah Thevar-Civil Appeal
No. 7762 of 1996 arising out of S.L.P.(C) No. 25053 of 1995 dated 30th April, 1996.

3.1 The above principle of sanction of pension prospectively and not from the date of applica-tion in
the ' benefit of doubt category' has been applied by the Division Bench of Hon'ble A.P. High Court
in the judgement dated 21.12.1999 in writ appeal No.1974 of 1999 in the case of the Deputy
Secretary. MHA and another Vs.K.Venkamma. Observations of Hon'ble Mr.M.S.Liberhan, the Chief
Justice and Hon'ble Mr.Justice Goda Raghuram are reproduced as under

"The learned counsel for the appellant has read out the application made by the husband of the
petitioner in court which is to the effect that the applicant has hoisted a flag in the village and
persuaded the people not to pay the land revenue and thereafter he went underground. These is no
evidence to prove either of the incidents. It is simply an assertion. The screening committee, which
has gone into the case of the applicant, however, recommended for grant of pension to him giving
benefit of doubt, but not on the recommendation made by the Screening Committee giving benefit of
doubt. From the material on record, it is clear that pension was granted to the husband of the write
petitioner only on the recommendation made by the screening committee giving benefit of doubt, but
not on the basis of documentary proof of the applicant suffering in the movement. For these reasons,
we fully agree with the learned counsel for the appellant that it is a case of benefit of doubt and
without interfering with the finding arrived at by the screening committee and in view of

--140--

the law laid down by the supreme court which is binding on us, the pension is allowed from the
date of the order only."

3.2 What is the date of application?

Considering the question as to what should be the date of application, the Hon'ble Supreme
Court in Union of India and Oths. Vs Ram Jeevan Singh and Oths., vide judgment date 14th
November, 1994 in petition(s) for Special leave to Appeal (Civil No.(s)../94CC 27667 ( From the
judgment and order dated 10.12.93 of the High Court of Patna in C.JC No 7123/93) held that-

"The only question is from what date the respondent is entitled to the payment of pension.
Admittedly, on two occasions his claim was rejected. On the third occasion an application was made
on 19.8.91 and pension was granted thereon. Therefore, when the High Court has stated that the
respondent is entitled from the date of the application obviously, it would be 19.8.91."

4.0 Underground Sufferings-Evidence Required:-

In the case of Sakti Bala Samanta Vs. Union of India 2000 (1) CLJ 573. Hon'ble High Court of
Calcutta has summed-up the correct position of eligibility in the case of claims based on under-
ground suffering. The court has held-

"The underground suffering for six months which is recognized as a ground for grand of pension
provides that the pension should have gone underground only after he was wanted by police for his
activities relating to National struggle for freedom. In other words, the freedom fighter should either
be a proclaimed offender or on whom an award for arrest was announced or on whom detention
order was issued but was not served; but voluntary abscondence or issue of warrant on any other
ground than the one mentioned above will not make a person eligible for pension." (para 13)

"By taking aid of the liberalized pension scheme, an applicant can insist on acceptance of
a certificate by a freedom fighter having requisite eligibility as a secondary evidence in support
of his claim if the official records are not available. But, in a given circumstances, the Central
Government is entitled to reject such certificate if other contrary evidence is available falsifying
the claim of the applicant or the contents of the certificate." (para 14)

"If a freedom fighter under the guidance of the certifier remains underground for years "
for continuance of his service to the country" but not proceeded by any warrant of arrest or order
of proclamation on the aforesaid ground, he is not entitled to get pension. The certificate merely
described the husband of the petitioner as a 'proclaimed offender' but did not assert that the period
of underground was more than six months from the date of issue warrant nor did it assert that he
was declared a proclaimed offender for the above reason." ( Para 21)

"The petitioner cannot take advantage of the previous decision for the simple reason that
in order to invoke writ jurisdiction, the onus is upon the petitioner to satisfy the Court the he has
a legal right to get the relief claimed." ( para 31)

"A judgment or decree obtained by playing fraud on the Court is a nullity and non-
est in the eye of law. Such a judgment or decree by the first Court or the highest Court has
to be treated as nullity by every Court whether superior or inferior. It can be challenged in
any Court even in a collateral proceeding." ( para 42)

4.1 Considering the claim of underground sufferings for freedom fighters pension, the Hon'ble
High Court of Kerala in O.P.No.12401 of 1996 in the case of C.S.Adiyodi Vs Union of India
and Others. Vide judgment dated 8th June, 1998 had held-

"Merely because one claims that he had been in underground in connection with the freedom
fight, he will not be eligible for grant of pension. Records regarding proclaimed offender or award of
arrest will be available in the concerned police station. Only a detention order can be certified by the
Revenue Divisional Officer. Thus the petitioner did not produce before the authority

--141--

concerned the necessary documents to prove that he was a proclaimed offender or these was an
award of arrest against him or that there was detention order against him. Unless such documents
are produced one cannot be granted freedom fighter's pension on the claim of underground
suffering."

5.0 Recommendation of the State Government

A. Whether binding?

Simply because a case been recommended by a State Government, freedom fighters pension cannot
be granted by the Central Government unless the conditions specified in the Scheme are fulfilled.
Pension cannot be granted on the basis of certificates of certifiers who have been indulging into
Indiscriminate certification and therefore have been black-listed by the Central Government.
Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana in C.W.P.No.16280 of 1995 in the case of Mulkha
Singh and Oths: Vs Union of India and Oths. Vide judgment dated 9th September, 1996 has held-

"It is unthinkable that persons issuing these certificates can possibly remember exact date
and the period of the innumerable co-prisoners after such a long time. No doubt, State of Punjab
on the basis of instructions has chosen to grant pension to the petitioners vide Annexure P-1 but
that itself can hardly be a ground to inter that the petitioners' claim are genuine."

B. Basis or recommendation by State Govt.-Important:-

The Hon'bleHigh Court of Karnataka vide judgment dated 19th November, 1997 in the case of
M.Y.Sontakkl Vs Union of India and another (Writ Appeal No. 6883 of 1996) has held-

"Assailing the order of the learned single judge, the learned Counsel for the appellant relied
upon Annexure-E to contend that in view of the recommendation made by the Government of
Karnataka, the respondent No.1 ( Union of India) was not justified in rejecting the claim for the grant
of Freedom Fighter's Pension. We have perused Annexure-E and do not find any substance in the
submissions of the learned Counsel because it reiterates only the averments made by the appellant in
his application. The state Government is not shown to have made any recommendation on the basis
of any material or other evidence. Even from Annexure-E it is evident that the superintendent of
Central Jail, Belgaum had intimated the authorities that the records relating to the period prior to
27.3.1943 was not available in his office. The so called recommendation in favour of the appellant
was made on the basis of certificate issued by the alleged two co-prisoners. It has been subsequently
found that the aforesaid two co-prisoners have been black listed on the ground of indulging in the
issurance of such certificate. The learned single judge was therefore justified in upholding the order
of the respondent No.1. We have not been persuaded to take any other view in the matter despite
perusal of the document referred to by the learned Counsel for the appellant."

C. conditions for recommendation by state Governments

The application of a person can be recommended by the State Govt. only when the person
produces evidence in support of his suffering. The pension can be granted only when the claim is
supported by official documents. Hon'ble High Court of Kerala, in judgement dated 6.11.98 in
O.P.No.13512/ 94-H in the case of Sri.K.C.Sundaram Vs. State of Kerala and Oths, held-

"A person, who is unable to produce any evidence in support of his suffering, cannot seek a
direction for recommending his application. The application can be recommended to the Central
Government, only if one had undergone suffering during freedom fighters' struggle. For that purpose,
a simple averment is not sufficient. It shall be supported by official documents. One is entitled
for freedom fighters' pension, If he had been imprisoned on the basis of his participation in the
freedom struggle or he had been in underground, evading from police in connection with any case
relating to freedom struggle. In such cases, there will be official records to show that an incumbent
underwent imprisonment or a warrant had been issued against him. in the absence of production

--142--

of any document by the petitioner, the decision taken in Exts.P.5 and P7 cannot be said to be
faulty."

"Nobody can say that one has gone underground because of the warrant issued in
connection with the case relating to freedom struggle."

D. Observations of Hon'ble Mr. Justice B.J.Sethna of Hon'ble Rajasthan High Court in Surati
Prakash Vs. U.O.I. ( S.B. Civil W.P. No.2981/98 Judgement dated 8.3.2000) in this regard are as
follows.

"If the petitioner does not fulfill the criteria for pension under the Central Govern-
ment Scheme, then merely because the State Govt, has issued Tamra Patra and granted
pension to him that automatically would not entitle him to get pension under the Central
Government Scheme also as a freedom fighter,"

E. Recommendation of the State Govt. is not binding

Recommendation of the State Govt. is not binding on the Central Govt. if the conditions
necessary for the grant of pension are not fulfilled. The Hon'ble High Court of Patna in
C.W.J.C.No.8665/ 97, in the case of Kishori Singh Vs. Union of India & Others,vide judgement
Dtd. 8-1-99 has held that-

"It is true that the Central Government will grant Swatantrata Samman pension under the
aforesaid Scheme of 1980 on the recommendation of the State Government, but the recommenda-
tion of the State Government is not binding on the authority granting such pension."

"......... The recommendation is sent to the Central Government for consideration and
not for granting pension. In other words, the recommendation of the State Government is not
final or conclusive. It is for the authority of the Central Government granting such pension to
make further scrutiny in the matter take final decision."

6.0 Reliability of secondary evidence

The Scheme specifies the nature of primary evidences which are to be furnished by the
applicants for the pension. In absence of primary evidences, applicants are allowed to furnish
sec-ondary evidences. However, secondary evidences should be reliable enough to induce a
reasonable belief that the applicant fulfilled the conditions of the Scheme. Cautioning the
authorities in the matter of reliance on secondary evidences, Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka
vide judgement dated 19th March, 1997 in W.P.No.35193/96 in Siddappa Shivallngappa Vs
Union of India has held

"In my opinion such certificates cannot be taken to be always genuine & conclusive
proof for granting pension under the pension scheme. Further, it cannot be denied that
such certificates can be obtained without much efforts."

The Chief Secretaries to all
State Governments/UT Admns.

Subject: Grant of pension under Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension Scheme formerly
known as Freedom Fighters Pension Scheme, 1972 to the widows of the late
freedom fighter pensioners.
..
Sir,
I am directed to state that as per the extant rules, in cases where the freedom fighter
pensioner dies, leaving behind more than one widow, the dependent family pension is
sanctioned to each of the widow at full admissible rate treating them as separate entities.
A question arose whether this practice was sound and proper, specially in view of the fact
that in case of civil pensioners, if the number of widows exceeds one, they are treated as a
single family unit and the family pension admissible under the rules is equally divided
between/among them. The matter has been considered in consultation with Integrated
Finance and the Ministry of Law and it has been decided that for the purpose of grant of
family pension under the Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension Scheme, the existing
practice of treating the widows as separate entities and granting each of them full quantum
of family pension admissible under the scheme may continue. These instructions may be
kept in mind while scrutinizing the applications of widows for family pension. The State
Government/UT Admns. may ensure while sending their report/recommendation to this
Ministry that the applicant(s) is/are the wedded wife/wives of the late freedom fighter.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Grant of Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension to the legal heirs
(spouses and unmarried daughters) instructions regarding.
***

The undersigned is directed to say that several requests are being
received in this Ministry for the grant/ transfer of pension from the legal
heirs (spouses and dependent daughters) consequent to the death of
freedom fighters. It is found that in many of the cases the applicants at the
time of applying for the grant of pension did not mention the details of their
family members as a result of which it is becoming difficult to accept the
claims submitted by legal heirs. Accordingly, the matter has been examined
and the advice of CCA has been sought. Their advice given is as follows :
"It is felt that details of the family are already indicated in the
application form submitted by the freedom fighters. In such cases,
the requisite number of joint photographs of freedom fighters, his/her
spouse as well unemployed and unmarried daughters should be
obtained alongwith application form. The sanction letter issued by
the MHA should therefore indicate the entitlement of family pension
in the event of death of pensioner. In order to completely rule out
fake claims of family pensioner after death of the pensioner, it is
suggested (if not already provided in the application form) that the
freedom fighter should categorically be asked to mention in the
application form if he does not possess any family. Accordingly,
mention should be made in the sanction letters issued by the freedom
fighters division, Ministry of Home Affairs."

2. In view of the above, all processing section are requested that
whenever an application has been received for grant of Swatantrata Sainik
Samman Pension, this may be carefully examined and in case it is decided
to consider to furnish an affidavit along with the joint photographs of
his/her spouse as well as unemployed and unmarried daughter. In case, if
he is not having any dependent this fact may be specifically asked to
mention so that consequent to his death no claim should be entertained by
any person on the ground that they are legal heirs. Further, at the time of
issuing the sanction the above fact should clearly be mentioned in order to

--157--

enable the disbursing authorities to release the pension in respect of legal
heirs and also not to make any pension to those persons whose details as
legal heirs are not indicated in the original sanction letter.

th

July 1982 addressed to all the chief secretaries of State Governments and Union territory
Administrations (endorsing a copy to all A.Gs) intimating the decision of the Government of
India to continue the practice of treating widows of deceased freedom fighters as separate entities
for granting the full amount of family pension admissible under the Swatantrata Sainink Samman
Pension Scheme (SSSP). Now this matter has been reviewed that it has been decided to
discontinue it as this practice is not in consonance with the established laws and general
principles of family pension as applicable in Government sector on the subject.
2. Therefore in suppressions of all earlier orders the following procedure/position would be
adopted in all future cases:-
I. That as provided in the under Swatantrata Sainink Samman Pension Scheme
(SSSP),1980 not more than one eligible dependent can be granted family pension
after the death of the freedom fighter who was in receipt of Samman Pension
under the said Scheme.
II. That the claimant of family pension should fulfill the twin conditions of falling
into the eligible category of relationship .i.e widow, widower, unmarried daughter,
mother or father and their dependence on the deceased freedom fighter. It has to be
certified that such a dependent does not have any independent means of livelihood.
III. That in the event of availability of more than one eligible dependent the sequence
of eligibility, more than one at a time, will be in the following order:-

1- Widow/widower
2- Unmarried daughter
3- Mother and father
Subject to the instruction issued under the Scheme from time to time.

--161--

IV. That in case the deceased freedom fighter had communicated to this Ministry the
nomination of more than one legally wedded wives as dependents, the family
pension admissible to one dependent widow be shared by them equally. Such
widows would not be treated as separate entities for grant or family pension under
the aforesaid scheme.
3. The aforesaid decisions take effect from the date of issue.

instructions in pension payment orders under intimation to this Ministry.

To
The Chief Secretaries
All States/Union Territories

Subject: Dependent family pension under Swatantrata Sainink Samman
Pension Scheme, 1980 to the widows of deceased freedom
fighter-legality of second wife-regarding.

As per the provision of the swatntrata sainink samman pension
scheme,1980, the eligible dependents for grant of dependent family pension (
if the freedom fighter is not alive) are widow/widower if she/he has not since
remarried, unmarried& unemployed daughters (subject to a maximum of
three such daughters at a time), mother and father. Not more than one
eligible dependent can be granted pension. In the event of availability of more
than one dependent, the sequence of eligibility is widow/ widower, unmarried
& unemployed daughters, mother and father.

2. The power to transfer family pension to eligible dependents was
delegated to the concerned Pension Disbursing Authorities
(Treasuries/Public Sector Banks) vide this Ministrys letter no.
8/17/89-FF(P) dated 24-10-1990 and 01/05/1992 (copies
enclosed).
3. Vide this Ministrys O.M No. 8/16/81-FF(P) dated 28
th
July 1982
(copy enclosed), it was clarified that the practice of treating
widows as separate entities and granting each of them full
quantum of family pension under the Scheme could continue.

4. The matter was subsequently reviewed, and vide this Ministrys
letter no.8/2/98-FF(P) dated 13-10-2000(copy enclosed) it was
clarified that in case the applicant had communicated more than
one legally wedded wives as dependents, as the family pension
would be shared equally amongst such widows and they would

--163--

not herein be treated as separate entities for grant of family
pension.

5. The aspect of legality of the second marriage, when dependent
family pension is granted to more than one widow of a deceased
freedom fighter, has again been re-examined in consultation
with the Ministry of Law.

6. In so far as Hindu marriages are concerned, after coming into
force of the Hindu marriage Act, 1955, the legality of a Hindu
marriage is governed by the provision of the said act, and a
second marriage is illegal in case the first wife was alive at the
time of the second marriage. Before this act came into force, the
legality of a marriage was determined on the basis of customary
law.

7. Legality of other marriages, i.e. other than Hindu marriage, is
governed by the respective, applicable law/s.

8. In the above context, it is clarified that the aspect of legality of a
second marriage is a basic, essential ingredient, which cannot be
overlooked when dependent family pension is sanctioned to
more than one widow. Only a legally wedded second wife is
eligible for dependent family pension.

9. All pension Disbursing Authorities are requested to keep the
above in view while deciding on requests for transfer of
dependent family pension.

Your faithfully,

(Vinod Ratti)
Deputy Secretary to the Govt. of India.
