The State Of Punjab vs Mohinderjit Kaur (D) Th.Lr

The Supreme Court held that employees transferred to non-pensionable establishments are entitled to family pension under Rule 6.17 of the Punjab Service Rules, despite the State's argument that Rule 5.3(3) exempts the government from liability for family pension. The Court clarified that the Family Pension Scheme does not exclude pensioners receiving monthly pensions from eligibility for family pension. Consequently, the High Court's judgment was upheld, affirming the entitlement of the employees' families to the pension benefits.
