For Applicant(s) Advocate : MS. B. K. PATTNAIK(ON BEHALF OF M.K. KHUNTIA)

For Respondent(s) Advocate : D.R SWAIN Order of The Tribunal It is the case of the applicant that the respondents department issued order for grant of one time payment of Rs. 15 Lakh under Youth Samman Yojana dated 29.05.2024 to retired personnel, who qualify the conditions stipulated therein. He being a retired personnel of Defence and fulfilled all the conditions stipulated in the order dated 29.05.2024, submitted application for grant of Rs. 15 Lakhs on 08.08.2024 and 28.03.2026 but the respondents remained mum on his request till date notwithstanding the promises made in the order dated 29.05.2024. His prayer in this OA is for direction to release the one time payment of Rs. 15 Lakh under Youth Samman Yojana as per notification dated 29.05.2024. On the other hand, Ld. Counsel appearing for the respondents, filed preliminary objection on the question of admission since, according to the applicant, no decision has taken place on his application submitted on 08.08.2024 and 28.03.2026. Considering the fact that the applicant is a retired personnel and makes grievance based on the order dated 29.05.2024, he has every right to know the outcome of the consideration of his application in one way or the other but sitting over such application does not sound logical to the judicial conscience. In the said premises, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the matter, this OA is disposed of at this admission stage, calling upon Resp. No.3 to take a decision on his pending application, referred to above and communicate the same to the applicant within a period of 45 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. Registry is directed to send a copy of this order along with OA to Resp. No.3 upon furnishing the requisite/postal requisites by the applicant within a period of 5 days hence.
