Full Judgment
W.P.No.12111/2012 (Ajmar Kol versus State of M.P.& Ors.) 28.09.2012 Heard Shri Rajesh Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner on the question of admission and interim relief.
The petitioner has filed this petition alleging that his claim for pension under the State's Scheme for Social Security Pension has not been considered and decided by the respondent authorities.
It is submitted that the petitioner has approached the Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat Tikatkala, Tahsil Churhat, District Sidhi on several occasions, but his application has not been forwarded to the Jandpad Panchayat for decision and his representation before the Collector has not yielded any result.
I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner at length.
It is apparent from a perusal of the Scheme filed by the petitioner alongwith the petition that the petitioner has to move an application, which shall be decided by the Janpad Panchayat.
There is nothing on record to indicate that the application of the petitioner has been processed and forwarded to the Janpad Panchayat.
The Scheme also indicates that in case of inaction on the part of the Janpad Panchayat, the W.P.No.12111/2012 (Ajmar Kol versus State of M.P.& Ors.) petitioner's remedy is before the Sub-Divisional Officer.
In the circumstances, the petition filed by the petitioner is disposed of with a direction to the effect that in case the petitioner files a representation before the Sub-Divisional Officer by filing an appropriate application alongwith a copy of the order passed today and a copy of the petition, the concerned authority shall look into the matter and take appropriate steps as required by law.
It is made clear that this court has not issued any direction in favour of the petitioner or made any comments upon his claim and therefore the authority would be at liberty to examine the matter keeping all facts and facets into consideration and thereafter take a decision in accordance with law.
With the aforesaid direction, the petition filed by the petitioner stands disposed of.
C.C.as per rules.
