After decades of wait, 101-year-old to receive Freedom Fighter's Pension
The New Indian Express Sambalpur
|August 01, 2025
IN a significant judgment, the Orissa High Court's single judge bench of Justice Sashikanta Mishra, directed the state government to sanction and disburse Freedom Fighter's Pension to Brahmananda Jena, a 101-year-old man, who has claimed to have participated in the 1942 Quit India Movement.
The court directed the authorities to sanction and disburse the pension to Jena within six weeks of submission of the certified order.
Jena, who had applied for the pension under the Swatantrata Sainik Samman Pension Scheme in 1981, approached the court after decades of inaction. He filed a petition seeking the high court's intervention in 2021 after the government rejected his claim citing lack of records and doubts over his age and eligibility.
