The RA Administrative Court completed examination of the claim filed by missing person’s mother S. Sargsyan and her representative Tatevik Siradeghyan, lawyer at Yerevan Office of HCA Vanadzor, on restoring S. Sargsyan’s entitlement to pension for persons who lost breadwinner.
At the court hearing of March 20, 2017, the plaintiff party insisted on its claim and the defendant objected to it.
Plaintiff’s representative T. Siradeghyan expressed her position on the invalidity of the decrees on terminating the plaintiff’s entitlement to pension for persons who lost breadwinner and payment of her pension and insisted that the claim was to be granted.
In this regard, Manik Santrosyan, RA Defense Ministry’s representative asked whether the plaintiff submitted any evidence on property damage compensation for filing a claim on recognition of her entitlement, and the plaintiff answered that the RA Administrative Procedure Code did not compel plaintiff party to submit such evidence as the claim on declaring the actions unlawful covered the intention to receive property damage compensation. She mentioned that the claim was submitted to receive compensation for the damage resulting from that action and the issue of proving the caused damage would arise later, under the proceedings on compensation of the damage caused by unlawful administration.
In her position, M. Santrosyan mentioned that the plaintiff party missed the deadlines for filing a challenge motion and a motion on taking action and did not provide sufficient evidence on property damage to submit a recognition claim. Based on the missed deadlines, M. Santrosyan found that the case proceedings should be discontinued, and asked the court to reject the claim, if it made a judgment.
The representative of the RA Military Registration and Enlistment Office also expressed a position and mentioned in his speech that S. Sargsyan’s pension entitlement was terminated due to absence of a relevant reference in her pension files and no bonus payment might be awarded and paid without such reference.
After examining the evidence and hearing the final speeches of the trial participants, presiding judge K. Avetisyan considered the trial examination of the case complete and scheduled announcement of the judicial act on April 10, 2017, at 1 pm.
