Claim to freedom fighter's pension as legal heir of a deceased freedom fighter was rejected; the 2014 Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension Scheme contains no provision for pension to legal heirs. The Division Bench found no ground to interfere and dismissed the appeal, affirming the Single Judge's order.
