Complete text of Rule 12 -A reads as under:

(3.) WHILE asking the petitioner to submit additional documents, an assurance was given to her that requisite allotment order shall be issued on receipt of additional documents. Thereupon, according to petitioner, the requisite documents were submitted, viz., Death Certificate of her Late husband Raghunath Singh and Succession Certificate but to her dismay even after receipt of these documents the respondent did not show any favourable gesture. It so happened that by the end of December 2005 the respondents made endeavor to solicit certain information about the petitioner from Sainik Kalyan Board, Chirawa, which was necessary for making allotment in her favour. On coming to know the efforts made by the respondents, the petitioner immediately paid a personal visit to the office of Sainik Kalyan Board at Chirawa and answered all the required queries of the officials of the Government, however, nothing turned out thereafter.
