Rita Rani vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court directed the Railways to consider the appellant's entitlement to pension on compassionate grounds, following the removal of her husband, Subeg Singh, from service after a departmental inquiry. The Court noted that Subeg Singh had served for over 10 years and that other employees in similar circumstances were reinstated. The Court emphasized the need for the Railways to evaluate the appellant's claim within three months, despite the procedural issues surrounding Subeg Singh's appeal and subsequent death.
