JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD Shri Sanjeev Kumar Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner and JC to Sr. SC -I, for the respondent State as also the counsel for the respondent Union of India.

(2.) COUNTER -affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents.

(3.) AS it appears, admittedly, the petitioner's husband had died of malaria on 23.3.2000. The beneficial scheme, on the basis of which the petitioner has raised her claim, was notified on 15.6.2004, though with effect from 15.11.2000. Apparently, the cause of action, if any, had accrued to the petitioner on 23.3.2000, that is, much prior to the date of implementation of the welfare scheme.
