                                                      JUDGMENT

(Order of the Court was made by M.M.SUNDRESH, J.)

We do not find any error in the order passed by the learned Single Judge in

W.P.(MD)No.9028 of 2020. The respondents Corporation have issued a

notification calling for applications under the Freedom Fighters category. The

appellant herein is only the Granddaughter of a Freedom Fighter and therefore, she

is not eligible to apply, as per the brochure of the respondents. Hence, this writ

appeal is liable to be dismissed.

2. It is represented that inasmuch as the order passed by the learned Single

Judge directing the respondents to return the sum of Rs.40,000/- (Rupees Forty

Thousand only), the same was confirmed by this Court in W.A.(MD)No.1136 of

2020, filed by the respondents. In view of the same, the respondents are directed to

return the amount to the appellant herein within a period of six weeks from the

date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.

3. With the above direction, this writ appeal stands dismissed. No costs.
