Laskar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms. A. Gayan, learned Central Government Counsel [CGC] for the respondents. The petitioner has preferred the instant writ petition claiming family pension on the ground that the petitioner is the divorced daughter of the pensioner. The Government of India in the Ministry of Defence framed a Policy dated 17.11.2017 laying down that a divorced daughter of a pensioner who fulfill the conditions prescribed therein would be eligible for family pension if a decree of divorce had been issued by the competent Court during the lifetime of at least one of the parents. Though the petitioner in this writ petition has claimed pension on the ground that the petitioner is a divorced daughter of the pensioner, Late Rosomoy Chandra Das, the petitioner has not annexed any decree obtained from Court to support such claim. Mr. Laskar, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the writ petition may be closed at this stage reserving the liberty to the petitioner to approach the Court with better particulars. Ms. Gayan, learned CGC has submitted that she has no objection to the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. In view of the above submission made by Mr. Laskar, learned counsel for the petitioner, the writ petition is closed at this stage. However, liberty stands reserved to the petitioner to seek appropriate remedy with better particulars under the law. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
