File Case No. 244 (Respondent No.244)

Shri Dadarao Baburao Adsul

He applied for pension on 9.11.1989 claiming that he was underground

freedom fighter and arrest warrant was issued against him in file No. 201

Outward No. 323 dated 14 Isfandar 1357 Fasli i.e. 14th January 1948 and also

in file No. 7/1357 Fasli Outward No. 407 dated 2 Bahman 1357 Fasli i.e. 2nd

December 1947. he filed affidavit dated 5.2.1998 in which the space for

inserting the name of Dadarao Baburao Arsul and other details of warrant is

left blank.

The warrant was got verified by the Collector from the Police

Superintendent Beed. The Police Superintendent sent report on getting the

same verified from Police Station Ambajogai. Police Inspector Ambajogai

reported on 3.11.1997 that on inquiry the names of some persons were noticed

in the copy of warrant in file No. 7/1357 F Outward No. 407 dated 2 Behman

1357 F which included Dada Valda i.e. S/o Babu Maratha which is similar to

the name of the present applicant. In those days in Marathwada region

normally surname was not stated and instead caste used to be stated.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti in its meeting dated 16.12.1997 considered his

case and teferred to the fact that in absence of original record the copy cannot

be relied upon but the Committee is convinced that he had worked in the

freedom movement and recommended his case. The Additional Collector and

Member Secretary recorded that he does not agree and one of the Member

P.V.Joshi also recorded that the Urdu warrant is not verified.

The Additional Collector by letter dated 15.7.1998 informed the

Deputy Secretary that original record is not available but the copy is given

from available record. However, it is not known whether it is obtained on

payment of fees and it cannot be relied upon. There is also no compliance

with the Government Resolution dated 4.7.1995.

The High Power Committee stated that the Police Superintendent is

satisfied regarding the truthfulness of the warrant and it is issued from the

original record and it is connected with the freedom movement against Nizam

- 721 -

and Zilla Gaurav Samiti has recommended his case for grant of pension and

pension was sanctioned on 4/18 -10.1999. The Under Secretary mentioned in

his note that the warrant is not verified.

He appeared before Mane Committee and stated that he was aged 15

years and he cut shindi trees and wanted to burn them but as the police came

he ran away to Kharada Camp and lived there for 7 to 8 months. He was

doing the work of looking after cattle and was working in the field and has not

done any other work. There was warrant issued against him. He was asked to

give application by Sonaba Sutar, Gobare and he put his thum impression on

the application. He does not know what documents were filed and who

recommended his case.

He filed affidavit before the Commission and also moved application

to call the original record from Tahasil Office, Patoda. There is nothing

particular to be noticed in his affidavit.

The case depends entirely on the reliability of warrants in File No.

7/1357 F Outward No. 407 dated 2 Behman 1357 F and in file No.201/57

Outward No. 323 dated 14 Isfander 1357 Fasli (14.1.1948). The alleged

original warrant dated 2 Behman 1357 F is in the file received from the

Ambejogai Police Station. The signature on this warrant is entirely different

from the signatures found on the undisputed correspondence/office notes

signed by the same Tahasildar of Patoda and it also is not at all tallying with

signature on the warrants received from the Judicial Magistrate First Class

Court Georai and warrant contained in file of Tahsildar Patoda and other

warrants received from Ambajogai Police Station. The alleged original

warrant dated 14 Isfander 1357 F is in the file received from collector Beed

pertaining to Patoda Tahsil and signature thereon is entirely different from the

signatures found on undisputed correrspondence/office notes signed by the

same person i.e. Tahsildar Patoda and it is not at all tallying with signature on

warrants received from the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class, Georai,

Ambajogai Police Station and other warrants in the file of Tahsildar Patoda.

- 722 -

This fact is apparent to the naked eye and is confirmed by expert

opinion. The general observations made in separate part on warrant cases of

this report apply Mutatis Mutandis to this case.

Thus both the warrants not being reliable he is not entitled to the

Sanmanpatra and allied benefits which deserve to be and should be cancelled

forthwith and the Commission recommends accordingly.

- 723 -


Shri Nivrutti Bhanudas Arsul

He applied on 19.11.1989 for pension on the basis of warrant issued

against him by the Tahasildar Patoda in filed No. 201 of 1357 fasli outward

No.323 dated 14 Isfander 1357 falsi equivalent to 14th January 1948 and also

warrant in No.7/1357 F out ward No. 407 dated 2 Behman 1357 fasli i.e. 2nd

Decembet 1947.

In this file there is no correspondence regarding verification of

warrant.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti in its meeting dated 10.12.1997 observed that

with reference to warrant in file No. 7/1/1357 F outward No. 407 dated 2

Behman 1357 F that original record is not with the Police Station and the copy

cannot be relied upon, however, Committee is satisfied that he had worked in

freedom movement and recommended his case.

The Member Secretary and Additional Collector did not agree and one

of the Member P.V.Joshi also recorded that warrant is not verified.

The High Power Committee referred to the copy of warrant verified by

Police Station and the Zilla Gaurav Samiti’s recommendation and sanctioned

pension on 17.9.1999. The Under Secretary, however, pointed out that there is

no verification from the original record as stated by the police station.

He appeared before Mane Committee. His statement was recorded and

he stated that he cut shindi tress and as police were arresting persons he ran

away and lived at Kharda Camp for 7 to 8 months. He used to work in the

adjoining fields. He used to provide breads. He did not go out of Karanji

Village and did not work. He was hardly 12 to 15 years. There was warrant

issued against him but he does not know why it was issued. Namdev Bala and

Ram Kisan told him to file application and they have done the entire work and

the procedure. He has put his thumb mark.

- 724 -

Before the Commission has filed zerox copy of warrant in file No.7

outward No.407 dated 2 Behman 1357 F issued by Ambajogai Police Station

and also filed affidavit in which more or less he has stated the same fact in

short.























- 725 -


Shri Seetaram Natha Gaikwad

He applied for pension on 29.1.1999 and also stated that he was

underground freedom fighter and the warrant was issued against him.

He produced a Xerox copy of warrant signed as true copy by Notary

and from the true copy produced by him it appears that it is a copy of another

true copy alleged to have been signed by Assistant Superintendent, Court,

CJJD Gevrai.

The warrant is alleged to have been issued by Tahasildar Patoda

bearing file No. CCM .205 outward No. 209 1357 Fasli dated 24 Isfandar

1357 Fasli that is 24th January 1948. In his affidavit dated 15.1.1991 he stated

that arrest warrant was issued against him. He filed another affidavit dated

11.03.1999 making further improvement and adding various incidents not

stated in the earlier affidavit and also produced affidavit of Vishnath Devrao

Rakh in support.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti in its meeting held on 29.06.1999 stated that

Urdu warrant copy cannot believe in the absence of original record which was

not available. However, the Zilla Gaurav Samiti is convinced about his

participation in freedom movement and recommended his case to which one

of the member P.V.Joshi recorded objection on the ground that the copy of

warrant is not verified and only copy is produced.

The Additional Collector and Member Secretary wrote to the Section

Officer on 15.09.1999 that although Zilla Gaurav Samiti recommended the

warrant is not verified and is not reliable and case is not fit for sanction.

The High Power Committee placing reliance on the copy of warrant

referred to the contents of his application and accepted the recommendation.

To the note put up there is one remark by Under Secretary that in the absence

of original record the copy is not reliable, yet pension was sanctioned.

- 726 -

He appeared before the Mane Committee and stated that warrant was

issued against him. He also stated that Dnyonoba Patil Rakh prepared his

application and obtained his thumb mark. He does not know what other

documents were produced.

In the affidavit filed before the Commission he has made further

improvement by stating the names of renowned freedom fighters like Swami

Ramanand Thirth and Govind Bhai Shroff for the first time.

The original warrant bearing file No. --- Outward No. 205 dated 24

Isfander 1357 Fasli (24.1.1948) is in the warrants received from the Judicial

Magistrate First Class Court, Georai. The signature on this warrant is only like

initial and is entirely different from the signature found on undisputed

correspondence/office notes signed by the same person i.e. Tahsildar Patoda

and also is not at all tallying with the signature on warrants in the file of

police station Ambajogai, Patoda Tahsil and even other warrants received

from Judicial Magistrate First Class Court, Georai.

This is apparent to the naked eye and is confirmed by the expert

opinion. The general observations made in separate part of this report on

warrant cases apply Mutatis Mutandis to this case.

The Commission received in all 29 warrants from the three different

sources i.e. Patoda Tahsil (15 warrants), Ambajogai Police Station (8

warrants) and Judicial Magistrate First Class Court, Georai (6 warrants) but

the warrant bearing File No. 205/1357 F Outward No. 209 dated 24 Isfander

1357 Fasli (24.1.1948), copy whereof is produced and relied upon in this case

is not amongst those 29 warrants. When all 29 warrants received are found to

be forged and false by the Commission as discussed in separate part of this

report on warrant cases for reasons given there under how can copy of

warrant, original whereof is not in existence can be believed to be genuine and

true.

Thus the warrants not being reliable he is not entitled to the

File Case No.248 (Respondent No. 248)

Shri Shama Govind Kadam

Shama Govind Kadam applied for pension on 20.6.1989 basing his

claim as freedom fighter on arrest warrant issued against him.

He produced Xerox copy of warrant which is not signed by anybody as

true copy and from the copy produced by him it appears that it is a copy of

another true copy alleged to have been issued by the Ambajogai Police Station

whereon there is no endorsement of payment of fees. The copy of warrant

produced by him is in respect of file No.21/2 1357 Fasli Outward No.214

dated Nil.

The Collector, Beed sent the Xerox copy of warrant enclosing list of

60 persons with specific query for verification to the Police Inspector,

Ambajogai.

The Police Sub Inspector, Ambajogai reported to the Collector on

3.10.1997 that on verification from the copy 27 names were tallying which

include the name of Shama Govind Marath. However, the original record is

not available with the Police Station and from the copy it does not appear to

have been issued on payment of fees.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti in its meeting dated 16.12.1997 referred to

facts and stated that the warrant appears to be against congress workers issued

by Nizam Government and similar name is in the warrant. In view of the fact

that the original record is not available and copy is not issued on payment of

fees, the warrant cannot be relied upon, however, the the Zilla Gaurav samiti is

convinced about his participation in freedom movement and recommended his

case. The Additional Collector and Member Secretary made endorsement that

he does not agree to which one of the members P.V.Joshi also made

endorsement that warrant is not verified.

The Additional Collector wrote to the Deputy Secretary on 15.07.1997

and stated that he does not comply with the Government Resolution dated

4.7.1995.

- 728 -

The High Power Committee referred to the verification of warrant by

Ambajogai Police Station and the fact that the original record was available

with the Police Station accepted the recommendation and granted pension.

He appeared before Mane Committee and stated that he attended one

meeting in which there was firing and he ran away to Kharda and stayed at

Kharda camp for one month and returned hom and looked after his agriculture.

Thereafter he did nothing in the freedom movement. However warrant of

arrest was issued against him.

The case depends entirely on the reliability of warrant in file

No.21/2/57 F Outward No. 214. The alleged original warrant is in the file

received from the Ambejogai Police Station. The signature on this warrant is

entirely different from the signatures found on the undisputed

correspondence/office notes signed by the same person i.e. Tahasildar of

Patoda and it also is not at all tallying with signature on the warrants received

from the Judicial Magistrate First Class Court Georai, warrant contained in file

of Tahsildar Patoda and other warrants received from Ambajogai Police

Station.




The report dated 3.10.1997 of Police Inspector, Ambajogai to the

effect that out of 60 names given in the list names of only 27 persons are and

rest 33 are not in the copy of warrant sent to him further strengthens the

suspicion doubt about genuineness of the warrant.

Thus the warrant not being reliable he is not entitled to the

File Case No. 249 (Respondent No. 249)

Narhari Aba More

He applied for pension on 23.1.1990 and claimed pension on the basis

of arrest warrant issued against him and produced Xerox copy of warrant with

translation in English issued in File No. 21/1357 Fasli Outward No.217 dated

Nil. The Xerox copy is not signed by anybody and appears to be copy issued

by Police Station Ambajogai. The Collector Beed enclosing a list of 44

persons sent the warrant to the Police Inspector, Ambajogai. In the report

dated 3.10.1997 the Police Inspector Ambajogai stated that there were 19

names similar to the names in the list including the name of Narhari Aba

Maratha.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti in its meeting held on 16.12.1999 referred to

the warrant and the report of Police Station Ambajogai and stated that the

copy produced cannot be relied upon but the Samiti is convinced about his

participation in freedom movement and recommended his case. However,

Member Secretary and Additional Collector made endorsement that he does

not agree and one of the member P.V.Joshi also made endorsement that the

warrant is not verified.


that the copy does not appear to have been issued on payment of fees. The

original record is not available and warrant copy cannot be relied upon and

there is no compliance of Government Resolution dated 4.7.1995.

The High Power Committee accepted the recommendation, though,

Under Secretary made endorsement that warrant is not verified and sanctioned

pension.

He appeared before the Mane Committee and stated that he was aged

20 years and stayed at Kharda camp for six months and used to distribute

bhakari (bread) and he has not done any other work. No warrant was issued

against him. He does not know who has prepared his application for pension

but he has put his thumb mark. He is not aware of what documents are filed.

He filed copy of warrant and he stated that he would produce certified copy.

- 730 -

In the affidavit filed before the Commission he has made further

improvement by stating that in the Nizam State Hindus were not admitted in

School and also referred to some incidents which were not referred to earlier.

The case depends on the reliability of warrants in File No. 21/57 F

Outward No. 217 dated 17 Bahman 1357 F (17.12.47).

The Commission received in all 29 warants from three sources i.e.

Patoda Tahsil (15 warrants), Ambajogai Police Station (8 Warrants) and

Judicial Magistrate First Class Court Georai (6 warrants) but the warrant

bearing file No. 21/57 Outward No. 217 dated 17 Behman 1357 Fasli copy

where of is produced and relied upon in this case is not amongst those 29

warrants. When all 29 warrants received are found to be not genuine by the

Commission as discussed in separate part of this report on warrant cases for

reasons given there under how can copy of a warrant, original whereof is not

in existence can be believed to be genuine and true. The report dated

3.10.1997 of Ambajogai Police Station addressed to the Collector Beed to the

effect that out of 47 names given in the list names of only 19 persons are in the

copy of warrant sent to him and other 28 persons are not there in the copy of

warrant further strengthen doubt about genuineness of the warrant. Thus the

warrant not being reliable he is not entitled to the Sanmanpatra and allied

benefits which deserve to be and should be cancelled forthwith and the

Commission recommends accordingly.

Shri. Shankar Kisan (Deceased) represented by wife Lakhapati

Application was given by Shankar Kisan on 6.7.1990 He claimed that

arrest warrant was issued against him bearing Outward No. 214 file No. 21/2

1357 Fasli dated Nil. He filed affidavit dated 26.06.1990 in which he has

referred to the warrant. The warrant copy produced is only a Xerox copy

signed by Special Executive Magistrate and appears to be a copy of copy

issued by Police Station Ambajogai.

The warrant was sent for verification to the Police Station Ambajogai

by Collector Beed enclosing a copy of warrant and list of 60 persons on

26.8.1997 and Police Inspector, reported on 3.10.1997 that the original record

is available with the police station but the copy does not appear however

issued on payment of fees and it contains similar 27 names including Shankar

Kisan Maratha as compared to the list of 60 persons.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti in its meeting held on 29.06.1999 stated that

Urdu warrant copy couldn’t be believed in the absence of original record,

which was not available. The Zilla Gaurav Samiti referred to the verification

report and observed that warrant cannot be relied but Samiti is convinced

about his participation in freedom movement and recommended his case. One

of the member P.V.Joshi endorsed that the copy of warrant is not verified.

The Additional Collector and Member Secretary wrote to the Deputy

Secretary on 15.07.1999 that the warrant cannot be relied up and there is no

compliance with the Government Resolution dated 4.7.1995.

The High Power Committee however accepted the recommendation

referring to the verification report and sanctioned pension.

Before the Mane Committee Lakhapatibai appeared and she stated that

she is not aware of any activities of her husband regarding freedom

movement.

rest 33 are not in the copy of warrant sent to him further strengthen doubt

about genuineness of the warrant.

Shri. Gopinath Ganapati Shinde

Gopinath Ganapati Shinde (deceased) represented by wife

Shewantabai.

He applied for freedom fighter’s pension on 23.1.1990 placing his

claim on warrant of arrest issued against him in file No. 21 Outward No. 217

dated 17 Behman 1357 Fasli (17.12.1947) and (2) file No. 49 of 1357 Fasli

outward No. 227 dated 27 Dai 1357 Fasli equivalent to 27th November 1947.

He produced copy of warrant signed by Special Executive Magistrate

as true copy, He has also produced another Xerox copy of warrant in file No.

49 of 1357 Fasli outward No. 227 dated 27 Dai 1357 Fasli. The Collector

Beed sent letter dated 26,8,1997 to the Police Inspector Ambajogai for

verification of warrant enclosing a copy of warrant and list of 44 persons and

the report dated 3.10.1997 shows that copy of warrant sent was in respect of

file No.21 Outward No. 217 dated 17 Behman 1357 Fasli i.e. 17th December

1947 and it is clearly stated in the report that the original record is not

available in the police station and the copy has not been issued on payment of

fees, however name of Gopinath Ganapati appears and there are 19 names out

of the list of 44 persons sent by the Collector.

He filed affidavit dated 15.1.1997 in which he has referred the names

of number of freedom fighters including the names of Ramling Swami

Ravsaheb Patwardhan and others, quoting some incidents not referred to

earlier in the application.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti in its meeting held on 16.12.1997 referred to

the warrant in file No.217 outward No.227 dated 17 Behman 1357 Fasli and

after noting that copy is not issued on payment of fees and original record is

not available and therefore copy cannot be believed however the Zilla Gaurav

Samiti is convinced that he took part in freedom movement and recommended

his case. The Member Secretary and Additional Collector recorded that he

- 734 -

does not agree with the recommendation and one of the member P.V.Joshi

also stated that there is no verification y of warrant.

The Additional Collector and Member Secretary wrote to the Deputy

Secretary on 15.07.1998 that original is not available and copy is also not

obtained by payment of fees, but same name appears to be in the warrant.

However he does not comply with the provisions of Government Resolution

dated 4.7.1005.

Before the High Power Committee note was put up mentioning that in

the verification report the name of the person is appearing in the copy of

warrant and Zilla Gaurav Samiti has recommended. However, the Under

Secretary recorded that as observed by the Deputy Collector the copy is no

trustworthy and it is necessary to get satisfied about the truthfulness of the

copy. Thereafter further note was put up that the name appeared in the

warrant and Zilla Gaurav Samiti has recommended. The Member Secretary

Advocate Rajabhau Zarkar made a detailed note that the original record is not

available as stated by the District Collector and Police Inspector has stated that

original record is not available in the Police Station and the copy is not issued

on payment of fees and Zilla Gaurav Samiti is not satisfied regarding

truthfulness of the warrant copy and one member has clearly mentioned that

the warrant copy is not verified. In the Beed district similar cases in respect of

4-5 warrants are pending before the Government and in respect of all these

warrants it is necessary to get report from the Collector, Beed and unless a

detailed report is sent by the Collector in these matters, these matters be kept

pending.

Thereafter Deputy Secretary Mr. Nalawade made note that the warrant

is issued by Beed Police Station and not by Tahasildar Patoda and the original

record is available with the Police Station and warrant is in respect of

activities against Nizam Government. The other contents of the letter of the

Additional Collector is in typed proforma and similar in all cases but since the

Zilla Gaurav Samiti has recommended, recommendation be accepted and after

which the Member Secretary Advocate Zarkar who had made a detailed note

in respect of 4 to 5 warrants of Beed district mentioning that a detailed report

- 735 -

of Collector be called has merely stated that claim be sanctioned and

consequently pension was granted.

As the person was no more when the Mane Committee issued notice

his wife appeared before the Mane Committee and stated that she has no

personal knowledge.

The case depends entirely on the reliability of warrants in file No.

49/57 Outward No. 227 dated 27 Dai 1357 Fasli (27.11.1947) and File No. 21

Outward No. 217 dated 17 Bahman 1357 Fasli (17.12.47). The alleged

original warrant in the file No. 49/57 Outward No. 227 dated 27 Dai 1357

Fasli is in the file received from the Ambejogai Police Station. The signature

on this warrant is entirely different from the signatures found on the

undisputed correspondence/office notes signed by the same Tahasildar of


from the Judicial Magistrate First Class Court Georai and warrant contained in

file of Tahsildar Patoda.

It does not tally even with other warrants received from Ambajogai

Police Station. This is apparent to the naked eye and is confirmed by the

expert opinion.

The original warrant in file No. 21/57 F Outward No. 227 dated 17

Behman 1357 Fasli, copy whereof is relied upon in this case, is not made

available for verification from any source despite notice to all concerned.

When 29 original warrants made available from three different sources are

found to be forged one how a simple copy original whereof is not in existence

can be believed to be a genuine document.

The report dated 3.10.1997 of Ambajogai Police Station to the effect

that out of 44 names given in the list names of only 19 persons are in the copy

of warrant further strengthens doubt about genuineness of the warrant.


Sanmanpatra dated and allied benefits which deserve to be and should be

cancelled forthwith and the Commission recommends accordingly.

Shri Deorao Kisanrao Lad

Applied for grant of pension on 22.02.1990. However in the original

application he did not refer to the warrant. He claimed pension on the basis of

warrant issued against him in file No. 205 Outward No. 209 1357 Fasli dated

24 Isfinder 1357 Fasli equivalent to 24 January 1948 and produced only Xerox

copy of the warrant which is not even signed as true copy by any body and the

Xerox copy appears to have been prepared from another copy which itself is a

copy of true copy issued by Assistant Superintendent, Gevrai Court and in the

Xerox there is endorsement dated 25.9.1990 that “this Xerox copy is true copy

of original copy issued on 20.9.1990”.

He filed affidavit dated 16.1.1991 stating that arrest warrant was issued

against him in the freedom movement of Hyderabad.

He filed further affidavit dated 1.6.1999 wherein he referred to further

incidents not stated earlier and also named number of freedom fighters for the

first time claiming that he worked with them and also stated that he was

required to live away from his house for 10 to 11 months and this statement

also made for the first time.

In support he filed the affidavits of Dnyanoba Jijaba Bangar and

Bhimrao Umaji Bangar dated 2.9.1999. As against Bhimrao Umaji Bangar

there was arrest warrant for 9 months.

The warrant was sent for verification by the District Collector Beed to

the Civil Judge, Gevrai and the Civil Judge Gevrai reported on 2.11.1997 that

original record is not available but the copy sent to him appears to have been

issued to one Advocate V.T.Chavan from the Court along with his report he

enclosed a list of 75 persons stating that these names are there in the warrant

and the name of Devrao Kisanrao Lad is at Sr.No. 169.

However, there is another report of same Civil Judge who was

identically the same person dated 10.9.1998 in which he has stated that the of

warrants No. 201, 202, 203, 204, 205 and 617 of 1357 Fasli appear to have

- 737 -

dated 16 Amardad 1357 Fasli equivalent to 16th June 1948. In the affidavit

dated 5.8.1990 which is not sworn before any authority and which is only

letter, on stamp he has stated that warrant of arrest was issued against him. He

filed supporting affidavits of Anna Eknath Telalp , Gajaba Mane in which the

name of Limbaji Abaji Bangar added afterwards to the typed affidavit and

similar is the affidavit of Nana Ganapati Sanap with similar addition dated

27.7.1990.

The warrant was sent for verification by the District Collector, Beed to

Tahasildar on 3.9.1997 enclosing copy of warrant and list of 21 persons to

which the Tahasildar replied on 15.11.1997 stating that the name of Limbaji

Abaji Bangar in the warrant. He has however stated that original record is not

available and verification is obviously done from the copy itself.

Thereafter Limbaji Abaji Bangar filed another affidavit dated 26.2.99

stating therein names of Sahebrao Ganapati Sanap and others. He further

stated that for 7 to 8 months he was required to live away from his house.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti considered his case in the meeting dated

29.1.1999 and recommended his case on the basis of warrant stating that his

name appears in the copy and therefore he has taken part in the freedom

movement. One of the member P.V.Joshi stated that he does no agree with the

recommendation .

The Additional Collector and Member Secretary wrote to the Section

Officer on 20.3.1999 that there is no compliance with Government Resolution

and in the list the name is Limba Abaji r/o Bhayal however in the application

he has stated as R/o Wadzari.

The matter came before the High Power Committee. It is mentioned in

the note that he worked against Nizam Government and warrant was issued

against him for arrest. He has filed copy of warrant, which was sent for

- 742 -

verification to the Tahasildar Patoda by the District Collector and Tahasildar

reported that the original record is not available but the copy is obtained in

due course on payment of fees. The original record in respect of warrant is

sent to the Collector office by the Tahasildar. However, there is name of the

persons in he warrant and the Zilla Gaurav samiti has recommended and

therefore the High Power Committee accepted recommendation and submitted

his claim.

The Under Secretary however mentioned that the warrant is not

verified.

He did not appear before the Mane Committee due to illness.

He filed affidavit before the Commission giving reference to the

warrant and stating that for 13 months he was living away from his house.

The case depends entirely on the reliability of warrant in file No.21/10

Outward No. 126 dated 16 Amardad 1357 Fasli (16.6.1948).

The Commission received in all 29 original warrants from three

different sources i.e. Patoda Tahsil (15 warrants), Ambajogai Police Station (8

warrants) case depends entirely on the reliability of warrant in file No.21/10

Outward No. 126 dated 16 Amardad 1357 Fasli, copy whereof is produced and

relied upon in this case is not amongst those 29 warrants. When all 29

warrants received are found to be forged and false by the Commission as

discussed is separate part of this report on warrant cases for the reasons given

thereunder how can a copy of warrant, original whereof is not in existence can

be believed to be genuine and true.

The report dated 15.1.1997 of Tahsildar Patoda to the effect that the

copy of warrarnt contains more names than 21 names given in the list further

strengthen doubt about genuiness of the warrant.

No.217 dated 17 Behman 1357 Fasli equivalent to 17 December 1947. He

produced Xerox copy of warrant, which is not even signed as true copy by

anybody, but appears to be a copy of copy issued by Police Station

Ambajogai.

In his affidavit dated 7.11.1990 he has referred to the warrant issued

against him. The warrant was sent by District Collector to Police Station

Ambejogai on 26.7.1997 enclosing copy of warrant and list of 44 persons for

available at Police Station but the copies cannot be said to have been issued on

payment of fees and further stated that names of 19 persons similar to the

names in the list are found in the copy in which there is name of Ganapat

Eknath Maratha at Sr. No. 15.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti in its meeting dated 16.12.1997 referred to the

copy of warrant and the fact that the original record is in the police station but

the copy is not obtained on payment of fees, the name of the persons in the

copy, which has not been issued by the police station on payment of fees and

copy cannot be relied upon but the Zilla Gaurav Samiti is convinced about his

work in the freedom movement. The Member Secretary and Additional

Collector noted that he does not agree and one member P.V.Joshi also pointed

out that there is no verification of warrant and made a dissenting note

accordingly.

Narayan Abaji applied for pension on 9.10.1980 on the basis of arrest

warrant in file No. 21/1 Outward No. 617 dated 17 Tir 1357 Fasli equivalent

to 17th May 1948 and produced Xerox copy of warrant, which is not even

signed as true copy by anybody.

The District Collector Beed wrote to Civil Judge Gevrai on 16.7.1997

to verify the copy of warrant and also sent to the Tahasildar Patoda for

submitting his verification report.

It appears that Narayan Abaji filed petition No. 4755/95 in the High

Court and notice had been issued to him for filing further evidence in view of

Government Resolution dated 4.7.1995.

Thereafter he filed another affidavit on 28-7-1997 stating further

improved story and adding the names of Anna Eknath Telap and Nivruti

Fakira Dhakane, Kisan Bangar etc.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti in its meeting dated 24.4.1998 did not

recommend his case as it was not satisfied with the copy of warrant.

The High Power Committee however referred to he copy of warrant

and verification report and sanctioned pension.

He appeared before Mane Committee and stated that warrant of arrest

was issued against him.

In the affidavit filed before the Commission also he made reference to

the warrant.


Outward No.617 dated 7th Thir 1357 Fasli (07.05.1948). The alleged original

warrant is in the file received from the Gevrai Court. The signatures on this

warrant is only like initial and is entirely different from the signature found on

the undisputed correspondence/office notes signed by the same person i.e.

- 746 -

Tahasildar, Patoda and it also is not at all tallying with the signature on

warrants in the file of police station Ambejogai the warrants contained in file

of Tahasildar Patoda and other warrants received from the Judicial Magistrate

First Class Court, Georai.

This apparent to the naked eye and is confirmed by the expert opinion.

The general observations made in separate part of this report on warrant cases

apply Mutatis Mutandis to this case.

Thus the warrant not being reliable he is not entitled and has failed to

prove his entitlement to the Sanmanpatra and allied benefits which deserve to

be and should be cancelled forthwith and the Commission recommends

accordingly.

issued by Tahasil office, Patoda. The translation of the copy of warrant No.

101 dated 14 Baheman 1357 Fasli equivalent to 14 December 1947 shows that

there is only one name mentioned with reference to Sr.No 15 which is at Sr.

Fasli Outward No. 310 dated 4 Behman 1357 Fasli equivalent to 4th December

certified copy issued by Tahsildar, Patoda to one Sakharam Sadhu of

Rohatwadi on application dated 22.8.1986.

The Additional Collector, Beed had written letter to the Assistant

fact that the original record is not available. The copy cannot be relied upon

The High Power Committee considered the cases of Mahadev Aabaji

Naiknavare ( File No. 339), Kacharu Kisan Bhandare ( File No. 271 ) and

Mahadev Yashvant Aadagale ( File No. 287) together and stated that the copy

of warrant is produced, however Tahasildar has informed that the original

record is not available. Thereafter it is mentioned that the Tahasildar informed

that the copy of warrant is issued from his office as appears from the

endorsement on the reverse of the copy but the original record is not available.

Applicants have stated that they have worked in freedom movement

against Nizam Government and have filed affidavits of Nivruti Fakira

Dhakane, Bhima Umaji Bangar who were sentenced to two years

imprisonment, and affidavits of other freedom fighers and therefore the claim

be sanctioned. It is further stated that from the Marathi translation of the

warrant, it appears that the name of Kacharu Kisan Bhandare and other two

persons appears, but there is no surname mentioned in the copy of warrant.

The copy is obtained on payment of fees and the same is verified by the

Tahasildar but could not be verified in the absence of original record, which

the Tahasildar has submitted to the Collector office, Beed. Unless the warrant

is properly verified no decision can be taken and the matter be referred back to

the Collector with a request to get verification done from the Tahasildar.

In the further note it is stated that the warrant was sent for verification

and Tahasildar reported to he Collector that the warrant was issued from his

office and the copy is issued on payment of fees. But the same could not be

verified in the absence of original record. The Collector has also informed

that the warrant cannot be verified in the absence of original record, therefore

the decision of the Zilla Gaurav Samiti does not appear to be correct and the

request for grant of pension made by Mahadev s/o Aabaji, Kacharu s/o Kisan

Bhandare and Mahadev s/o Yashvant Aadaale be granted. Thereafter desk

Officer endorsed for rejection of claim.

- 758 -

This endorsement made up to the level of Member Secretary was also

signed by the Chairman. Further note was put up by the Chief Minister’s

office that a note has been put up that the power of taking decision be given to

the Zilla Gaurava Samiti and the Collector and the Chief Minister has agreed

Thereafter further note is put up with reference to the petition filed in

the High Court and the fact that the warrant copy is produced by him and

although original record is not available but the basis of same warrant one

Ravsaheb Narayan Kokate has been sanctioned pension therefore these

person’s claims be sanctioned and in view of this note the Member Secretary

made endorsement dated 29.9.1999 that the claims of all the three persons be

sanctioned and accordingly pension sanctioned to all the three persons

including Kacharu Kisan Bhandare.

He appeared before Mane Committee and stated that warrant was not

issued against him and he has produced affidavits of two freedom fighters in

support of his claim.

Before the Commission he has filed written submission on affidavit

and has produced Xerox copy of warrant and copies of the affidavits of Bhima

Umaji Bangar and Nivruti Fakira Dhakne.

In the detailed affidavit he has referred to the warrant in file

No.21/1357 Fasli outward No.310 dated 4 Behman 1257 Fasli.

PART – XV

CONCLUDING REMARKS

OF

THE COMMISSION

The Commission had occasion to go through in detail 354+1 ( 354 and

354A) files. The Commission could note various defects, infirmities and

drawbacks, in the recommendation of the Zilla Gaurav Samiti and the manner

in which the files were dealt with by the High Power Committee. The

Commission is conscious of the fact that if only few files were to be

examined, it may not have been possible to note various aspects or defects in

detail.

The Commission is also conscious of the fact in the concluding

remarks, the same aspects which are already pointed out either in the general

reasons part of different type of cases or in the particular case may be repeated

but even at the cost of repetition it is necessary to point out the said aspects.

The Commission took serious note of the observations of the Supreme

Court on the concept of fraud and how fraud vitiates even a solemn

proceeding. Fraud is something incapable of precise definition. The

Legislature has therefore not attempted to define fraud even in the Indian

Contract Act. The reason why fraud cannot be confined to a precise definition

is obvious as the human brain is so fertile in inventing new ways and methods

of committing fraud that it is almost impossible to confine it in a few words

and any attempt to have a precise definition may lead to inventing ways and

means of defrauding without coming into the clutches of the definition and

may prove counter productive. In brief an act which deceives is a deceit. The

Hon’ble Supreme Court has therefore dealt in detail with the various

judgments on the various aspects in which fraud has been explained in judicial

pronouncements. The direction of the Supreme Court was however not

restricted to finding out whether by fraudulent means Sanmanpatra and allied

benefits are secured by some persons. The Court clearly directed the

Commission to decide upon the acceptability or otherwise of the claims of the

- 840 -

Respondent freedom fighters (they are referred to as Respondents for the sake

of convenience as some of them were Respondents in the Public Interest

Litigation). The entitlements of the freedom fighters to the Sanmanpatra and

allied benefits viz. free traveling, pension, preference in service to dependants

etc. were required to be considered and decided by the Commission. This was

on the background of the fact that these benefits had already been granted by

the Government by examining their cases based on the recommendations of

the Zilla Gaurav Samiti. The matter was considered and forwarded to the High

Power Committee by the Zilla Gaurav Samiti. It was required to be

considered in accordance with the provisions of law including various

Government Resolutions issued from time to time. The most important

Government Resolution applicable to almost all cases with expectation which

are far and few between, was the one issued on 4th July 1995. The question

raised regarding its applicability to the pending cases was decided by the Full

Bench of the Bombay High Court in Tukaram Ramji V/s. State of

Maharashtra reported in 1993(3) Mah.L.J. 735. The full Bench laid down

the law by answering the three points raised as below:-

“(a) The said Government Resolution No.POS-

1093/FN.127/FF Cell Mantralaya, dated 4th July, 1995 shall apply

to all pending applications before the Collector as on 4th July

1995 except in cases where Zilla Gaurav Samiti has already

recommended the case for pension to the Government.

(b) For the reasons recorded hereinabove, the decision of

the earlier Division Bench in Writ Petition No. 5376 of 1995

decided on 2nd September, 1998 stands overruled.

( c) We have not examined the vires of the Government

Resolution No.POS-1093/FN.127/FF Cell Mantralaya dated

4rth July 199. The said question is expressly left open. “

The Commission also noted the important legal aspects laid down by

the Apex Court as well as by the High Court in deciding the claims of freedom

fighters in various other cases.

The Hon’ble Supreme Court has in the judgment of State of

Maharashtra V/s. Raghunath Gajanan Waingankar reported in 2004(4)

Mah.L.J. 283 observed,

- 841 -

”Held, that the High Court exercising writ jurisdiction

does not sit in judgment over the decision of the State Government

like the Appellate Authority. In no case the High Court could have,

in exercise of its writ jurisdiction, relaxed the need for full

satisfaction of the necessary requirements on the fulfillment of

which alone entitlement to the release of Freedom Fighters’

Pension depended. Judgment of the High Court set aside with

liberty to the petitioner to make fresh representation for

reconsideration of his case/relaxing the requirement of the scheme

(1993) Sup.(3) SCC 2, Rel.,(2001)8 SCC8,Ref.(Para 7).”

The Commission also noted the law laid down by Supreme Court in

Mukund Lal Bhandari Vs. Union of India and ors. Reported in (1003)

Suppl. (3) SCC 2 and in Gurdial Singh Vs. Union of India (2001) 8 SCC 8.

The Commission was fully conscious of the legal position regarding

scrutinizing evidence by the administrative authority in such cases as laid

down by the Supreme Court in AIR 2001 SC 3883 :- (Para 7)

“7.The standard of proof required in such cases is not such

standard which is required in a criminal case or in a case

adjudicated upon rival contentions or evidence of the parties. As

the object of the scheme is to honour and to mitigate the sufferings

of those who had given their all for the country, a liberal and not a

technical approach is required to be followed while determining

the merits of the case of a person seeking pension under the

scheme. It should not be forgotten that the persons intended to be

covered by scheme have suffered for the country about half a

century back and had not expected to be regarded for the

imprisonment suffered by them. Once the country has decided to

honour such freedom fighters, the bureaucrats entrusted with the

job of examining the cases of such freedom fighters are expected to

keep in mind the purpose and object of the scheme. The case of the

claimants under this scheme is required to be determined on the

basis of the probabilities and not on the touch-stone of the test of

“beyond reasonable doubt”. Once on the basis of the evidence it

is probabilised that the claimant had suffered imprisonment for the

cause of the country and during the freedom struggle, a

presumption is required to be drawn in his favour unless the same

is rebutted by cogent, reasonable and reliable evidence.”

The Beed District Committee i.e. Zilla Gaurav Samiti established by

Government Resolution No. ZGS 1095/PK/937/95/Beed/Freedom Fighter Cell

dated 19th March 1995. The Zilla Gaurav Samiti was established by this

- 842 -

Government Resolution under the Chairmanship of Babasaheb Bangar with

four members. The Additional Collector was to be the Member Secretary of

the Committee. This Government Resolution categorically states that on the

recommendation of the Zilla Gaurav Samiti the Collector shall have the right

to make final recommendation. The Collector is also expected to attend the

meetings as and when possible. The reference to this is necessary because in

almost all cases the remarks of the Additional Collector (representing the

Collector) after the decision in the meetings of the Zilla Gaurav Samiti were

practically ignored. One of the Advocate appearing before the Commission

Mr. Bachate even contended that the Collector is mere postman to forward the

decision of the Zilla Gaurav Samiti to the Government. The argument is

mentioned for rejecting it outright. It is contrary to the provisions of the

Government Resolution by which the Zilla Gaurav Samiti for Beed district

was established.

The Commission has already discussed in detail in general reasons in

respect of cases based on arrest warrant and cases of underground freedom

fighters in separate part of this Report.

There is a detailed reference to the affidavits of supporting freedom

fighters showing how indiscriminately they were filing supporting affidavits

with similar contents. In fact a detailed scrutiny of their affidavits reveal that

affidavits in a particular format were being filed mentioning the same incident

and claiming that the person in support of whom the affidavit was filed was

involved in the same incident with the supporting freedom fighter. The

number of persons involved in the particular incident was initially stated to be

50 to 60 and was later on increased to 80 to 90.

Such affidavits were filed in support of cases which were far above the

said number. This aspect is already discussed in detail in the part of general

reasons of cases based on arrest warrants. A particular format of the affidavit

was kept ready. It was got typed and the name of the person claiming to be

freedom fighter was inserted mentioning his age, place of residence and these

additions and alterations were not even initialed by anybody. There was

already blank space left for such insertion and this practice was so rampant

- 843 -

that in some cases the blank spaces remained blank and the affidavits were

sworn with blank spaces and such affidavits were not only filed but were also

relied upon, and in some cases on realizing that the earlier affidavits were

blank, the affidavits of other freedom fighters mentioning totally different

incidents were filed in addition.

Not only that such formats were kept ready by the supporting freedom

fighters, even for the claimant freedom fighter a format was kept ready and

the name of the applicant (claimant), his age and place of residence was added

and the additions were not initialed or signed. The Commission also found

that in some affidavits certain portions were erased by use of whitener and in

some cases name earlier written (name of the claimant) was erased by

whitener and other name of claimant was written in that place and as stated

earlier without any initial or signature. The advocate who identified the

deponent before the authority did not bother to bring it to the notice of the

authority. Even the authority did not bother to go through or even to have a

look at the affidavit and raise query as to why the name was added in different

ink or at different time and why the place for addition of name was blank.

It is obvious that the said authority was just signing the stamp paper

produced before it and never bothered even to inquire with the person as to

who he was and what statement is contained in the affidavit.

There is one classic case of person named Mukta Bapu Dhas who

claimed pension as a freedom fighter. The affidavit was drafted as if Mukta

was a woman because normally Mukta is name of woman and even the

supporting freedom fighters in their affidavits referred to Mukta as a woman.

These are some cases for example in case of Dwarkabai case file No. 84 and

Mahadev Kisan Mankale Case file No. 103 etc. in which similar interesting

aspects were noted. In the case of Dwarkabai although application was filed

by Dwarkabai in her capacity as widow of Wamanrao Kulkarni; she never

applied in her individual capacity as a freedom fighter. At some stage of the

proceeding when she filed affidavit the name of Dwarkabai came to be written

as a freedom fighter and the supporting freedom fighters who were ready to

swear affidavit in support of anybody stated in their affidavits that Wamanrao

- 844 -

as well as Dwarkabai were freedom fighters and she was involved with the

supporting freedom fighters in the particular incidents stated. Dwarkabai was

ultimately granted Sanmanpatra, pension etc. as a freedom fighter and not as

widow of Wamanrao. In the case of Mahadev Mankale the application was

filed by Mahadev and pending the application, he died. His widow claimed as

legal representative (widow) but in the affidavit filed by her later on stated

that she was also a freedom fighter and the supporting freedom fighters went

to the extent of stating that she was involved in the incidents stated and was

granted Sanmanpatra on the basis of such affidavit when in fact she had not

even applied for the same and the application was of her husband. In the

individual cases these aspects are discussed. There are also some other cases

of this type. These cases lead to an irresistable inference that the affidavits

were filed by the claimants and the supporting freedom fighters without

having least regard for the truth of the contents. Had the supporting freedom

fighters slightest regard for truth, they would have never asserted that this

woman who did not claim to be freedom fighter in her individual capacity had

taken part and was involved in the incidents stated in the affidavit.

When the Commission came across such typed of affidavits and

realized that these statements although typed on stamp papers and signed and

alleged to have been sworn before the officer of the level of Nayab

Tahasildar/Awwal Karkoon could not be treated as affidavits and the sanctity

to be given to a statement on oath could not be given to such documents and

could not even be said to be affidavits in the proper sense of term. In some

cases as already stated in general remarks part, the affidavits are filed with

blank spaces. It in fact leads to an inference that blank affidavits were typed

and kept ready and were sworn and thereafter the name of claimant/respondent

was added. It was a mockery of the requirements of Government Resolution to

file affidavits of freedom fighters sentenced to two years imprisonment.

In such circumstances even after considering the above stated

judgment of the Supreme Court, the Commission felt it absolutely necessary

to scrutinize the evidence minutely and to consider the effect of contradictions

in the statements seriously.

- 845 -

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti as well as High Power Committee were also

aware that these supporting freedom fighters have been indiscriminately filing

affidavits and in two different files at least the Member Secretary even found

it is necessary to hold inquiry and there was a direction which in fact

amounted to order to conduct inquiry and the note in the file stated that order

was sent to the Collector but the inquiry was never held which obviously

means that no such order was ultimately forwarded to the Collector to hold

inquiry. Had the Collector been directed to hold inquiry by written order, he

would definitely have started the inquiry. Such a serious direction was

suppressed without taking further steps and surprisingly enough in the very

same case the affidavits so severely criticized by the Member Secretary were

at a later stage accepted and the same Member Secretary recommended that

the claims be sanctioned despite the said affidavits on record. Even the Zilla

Gaurav Samiti observed in Case file No.9 – Bhagwan Dhondiba Chaure in

respect of four freedom fighters who were filing supporting affidavits

indiscriminately.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti as well as the High Power Committee were

even aware that in Beed district number of persons have already secured

Sanmanpatra and allied benefits on the basis of bogus warrant. The

Commission has already referred to the proceedings Zilla Gaurav Samiti in

1995 in the general reasons on warrant cases and also to the note of Sabhapati

that time has come to control and curtail such cases in Beed district as the

Government is required to sanction claims on the basis of false and fabricated

documents. It is really shocking that later on, on the basis of the same

warrant the claim was sanctioned and even the Sabhapati agreed with the

contradictory note put up after such a strong observation by him in earlier

note.

The Zilla Gaurav Samiti in many cases found that the warrant

produced (copy) was not reliable but it went on to recommend the cases

stating that it was convinced that the claimant/respondent was freedom fighter.

Unfortunately the Government Resolution did not leave it to that conviction

- 846 -

i.e. to the subjective satisfaction of the Zilla Gaurav Samiti but it required the

Samiti to be satisfied on the basis of evidence produced before it.

Another aspect of the matter is claims rejected once, twice and even

thrice were reconsidered without practically any new material on record when

in place of earlier two affidavits, affidavits of other two freedom fighters that

also from the list to which the Commission has made reference in general

reasons part pertaining to the cases of underground freedom fighters, were

relied upon and accepted even though these affidavits contained a totally

different version than the one stated earlier by the claimant freedom fighter

and by the supporting freedom fighters.

In the view of the Commission this type of approach helped the

perpetuation of the fraud and the persons who were not connected or

concerned with the freedom movement, ventured to apply and got the claims

sanctioned. To some extent they were exposed when their statements were

recorded by Mane Committee. Many of them stated that they did not take part

in the activities but they only provided breads (bhakari) and water to the

freedom fighters, that statement was also apparently made because they had

nothing else to state. The Commission had the added advantage of statements

of the respondent freedom fighters recorded in 2003 by Mane Committee, as

the direction included that the record of Mane Committee be also made

available to the Commission.

It is because of this type of approach and scrutiny by the Zilla Gaurav

Samiti and the High Power Committee, the persons who were either toddlers

or were not even borne at the time of freedom movement did dare claim and

got the claims sanctioned. This was a fraud not only on the Government but

as stated by the Supreme Court in fact “asanman” to the Nation as well as to

the real freedom fighters.

Although unfortunate, it is true that a scheme made with benevolent

object to honour persons who gave their all and the prime years of their life

for the freedom movement was misused. At the some stage unwanted and

undesirable elements took control and exploited the scheme to the fullest

- 847 -

extent. All these circumstances led the Commission to scrutinize the evidence

with minute details. When all the circumstances indicated that the warrants

were not genuine and comparison of the signatures on different warrants

fortified the suspicious felt by the

Commission, the Commission took the step to send the disputed warrants for

examination by handwriting expert that also because the Commission found

some undisputed correspondence in the file of Tahasildar Patoda signed by the

same person. The Commission got the signatures on various warrants

examined through the Government Handwriting Expert. The other

circumstances which led the Commission to suspect genuineness of the

warrants are already stated in the part of general reasons of warrant cases and

need no repetitions.

The Commission feels it really unfortunate that the image of freedom

fighters was tarnished. The freedom fighters who were convicted and

sentenced in the freedom movement actively supported false and fraudulent

claims. There was some systematic and planned strategy employed to place

fake and fabricated warrants in the files of Tahashil office Patoda, Police

Station Ambajogai, and the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class Gevrai.

The Superintendent of Police Beed district has categorically stated that the

record of all the police station is destroyed, still Ambajogai Police Station

produced warrants and its copies signed as true copies issued by Police

Inspector Ambajogai which were not officially certified as true copies as per

the procedure prescribed.

All this led to perpetuation of fraud. It was really disgusting for the

Commission when such facts and circumstances were revealed while

scrutinizing the evidence.

The Commission is not called upon to opine as to how the High Power

Committee should function. However, the Commission feels that it should

have held regular meetings to consider the claims and should not have worked

in the manner in which any department of Mantralaya works. If the staff is

aware that matter will be discussed in meeting of which Chairman is the Chief

Minister, it would have prepared notes carefully and would naturally not have

- 848 -

twisted the facts as noted in many cases. However, the Commission also

agrees that the Committee alone can decide how it should function and is not

inclined to advise the Government about the procedure.

With these remarks the report is closed. The cases in which the

Commission has recommended cancellation may be considered by the

Government for taking action as deemed fit. The decision has ultimately to be

taken by the Government.
