Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of retirement benefits claimed by the widow of an employee of the Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation. The court examined whether the employee's resignation or voluntary retirement should be recognized, given the circumstances surrounding his health and the lack of response to his earlier application for voluntary retirement. The court ultimately upheld the decision of the High Court, allowing the widow to claim the retirement benefits as if her husband had been voluntarily retired.
