5.The Government Resolution dated 4th
July 1995 has provided the details regarding
evidence which is to be submitted in support of
the claim of the persons seeking benefit under
the Freedom Fighters' Scheme. In so far as the
claim under the category of underground Freedom
Fighters is concerned, it is stipulated that the
applicant concerned will have to substantiate as
to what hardships he was required to suffer. He
would be required to prove that either he was
compelled to leave his house, that he was
required to leave his education, or that he was
assaulted by Police in such a manner, which
resulted in his disability. However, on perusal
of the provisions under the Scheme, it would
reveal that either of these conditions is
required to be fulfilled and not all the three.
A person could be entitled under the scheme, if
he was required to leave his house, or if he was
required to leave his education or he was
assaulted in such a manner, that he received
physical disability. The said Government
Resolution would further require that the
certificate of two freedom fighters who were
sentenced to suffer imprisonment for two years
or who were underground for a period of two
years, in support of the claim of the candidate
should be submitted. The said Government
Resolution further provides that if any official
document in support of the claim is available or
if any newspaper report, reporting that the
candidate concerned was absconding, is
available, the same should also be submitted.”
