Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed a contempt petition arising from a writ petition under Article 32 regarding inadequate family pension payments to the petitioner, the widow of a deceased school headmaster. The Court had previously directed the State to determine the family pension in accordance with Government Orders, which had not been implemented, leading to the contempt proceedings. The Court held that the Accountant General, U.P. must investigate the petitioner's grievances and ensure compliance with the earlier order, emphasizing the importance of timely pension disbursement under the relevant government regulations.
