with the remark (copy enclosed vide ‘C’).
7.

8. That, in her Voter Identity card the name of her father has partially been printed as ASHIT SENGUPTA omitting the portion “ENDU”. It would be a very strenuous and time taking job to rectify the said EPIC Card from the office of Election Commission. (Copy enclosed vide Annexure ‘E’)
9. That, the poor child has also executed an “Affidavit” in the Siliguri Court affirming and declaring that the name of her father is ASHITENDU SENGUPTA and somewhere it was written inadvertently as ASHIT SENGUPTA. (copy enclosed vide Annexure ‘F’).
10. That vide Letter No.E/FS/MED/NJP Dated :17-02-2017, the DPO/NJP once again pressed the applicant that her, “Birth proof Certificate must have to be corrected” (Annexure vide ‘G’).
11. That, vide her application dated:28-02-2017 she also submitted a copy of Transfer Certificate issued by the Head Mistress, Siliguri Deshbandhu Vidyapith Girls High School, confirming her date of birth as 28-02-1980 and name of father as ASHITENDU SENGUPTA, etc. (copy enclosed vide Annexure ‘H’).
12. But, not satisfied with this reply, the DPO/NJP has further insisted, vide his letter No.E/FS/Med/NJP Dated:01-03-2017 on getting the Voter I/Card as well as Registration Certificate issued by WBBSE (a fresh addition), corrected as above. (copy enclosed vide Annexure ‘I’).
13. That, in the above letter he has mentioned that the certificate issued from Siliguri Municipal Corporation, the name of her father was mentioned as Late ASHIT SENGUPTA, which is a new revelation and not correct.
14. It may please also be noted that, within last 6 months the girl has been served with 4 (four) successive letters with objections after objections and she had to run from pillar to post for collection of data and preparation of reply.
15. That Sir, after due verification of the identity and other local information about the applicant, when the Sanction Memorandum was issued by the Competent Authority and after repeated compliance of all observations within this three years the applicant is almost denied of her legitimate claim on plea of some clerical mistake in one or two papers, though the authenticity of the case is beyond any question.
Under the circumstances, I, on behalf of my organization, request your honour to kindly accord your valuable orders in granting Family Pension in favour of Miss Eshita Sengupta a helpless and hapless child of a deceased ex. Railway man.
