Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to regularize the services of the deceased employee from the day before his death and grant family pension benefits to his widow. The court found that the delay in filing the writ petition did not negate the widow's entitlement to pension, emphasizing the importance of providing support to the family of deceased employees. The appeal by the State was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling.
