Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Sunita Burman, affirming her entitlement to family pension and retiral dues following the death of her husband, who was employed by the M.P. Housing and Infrastructure Development Board. The court found that the High Court had erred in reversing the Single Judge's order, emphasizing the need to uphold the rights of the widow under applicable service rules. The judgment reinstated the earlier decision, ensuring that the appellant receives the benefits due to her as a dependent of a deceased employee.
