Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the appellant, Sunita Burman, regarding 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 denial of pension based on the classification of her husband's employment was unjust, emphasizing the need for equitable treatment of employees and their families. Consequently, the court directed the Housing Board to grant the family pension and other dues to the appellant.
