The Madras High Court recently said that it is inappropriate to equate freedom fighters’ pension with government schemes for compassionate employment.

Justice V Lakshminarayanan made the observation while overturning the Central government’s refusal to transfer a deceased freedom fighter’s pension to the account of his daughter (petitioner).

To support the argument that divorced daughters are not entitled to the freedom fighters’ pension awarded to their parents, the government had relied on certain precedents.

However, the Court noted that those precedents only related to compassionate employment schemes and not freedom fighters’ pension.
