The Bombay High Court ruled that dependent parents of a deceased, unmarried government employee are entitled to a family pension. This decision ensures financial support for elderly parents left behind after their child’s death.
The Supreme Court criticized Uttar Pradesh for challenging pension orders, questioning why the state would prevent someone from receiving their pension. Justices expressed that routine pension disputes should not reach the apex court and that individuals who have worked for many years deserve their pension, dismissing the appeal.
