CIC asked the PF office as to why pension was denied to him. The PF office asked the hospital to submit the records and it was only in May 2008 that Solanki’s case was taken up. Solanki attended the hearing of his case through video conference facility, as he was unable to travel to Delhi for hearing. CIC, in the hearing, asked PF office to give detailed information about the reason of denying his pension.

The PF office in its justification said that some of the documents were not verified. The officers from the PF office personally visited Bhikubhi’s office, completed all the formalities and started his pension.

The officials from the Social Justice Department of the state government also visited the family and started a monthly allowance of Rs 400 for his physically and mentally challenged son.

“I requested the authorities for a telephone booth for my wife so that we can earn some money for our survival. But nothing has happened yet. Currently, my pension is everything for me and my family.”
