The court has previously directed the authorities to consider the petitioner’s representation and to dispose of it within a specified timeframe, emphasizing the importance of establishing eligibility through proper documentation (!) .
The authorities have issued an order granting pay fixation and benefits to certain personnel who served in the Border Wing Home Guards Battalion, based on the court’s directions and subsequent administrative approval (!) (!) .

The respondents have contested the petitioner’s claim on the grounds that he has not submitted sufficient documentary evidence, such as the discharge certificate or proof of service, to establish his eligibility (!) .
The court has directed the petitioner to submit a representation within one month, either with the discharge certificate or a sworn declaration supported by an affidavit, to facilitate verification and grant of benefits (!) (!) .
