Panchi Devi vs State Of Rajasthan & Ors

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeals filed by the appellant seeking family pension under Rule 22A of the Rajasthan Public Works Department (B&R) Service Rules, 1964, citing a delay of 14 years post the husband's death in 1978. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that all dues were settled during the husband's lifetime and that the appellant was not entitled to the family pension. The Court found no merit in the appellant's claims, affirming the lower court's rulings.
