Mr. Mohnish Sharma, Advocate, for the respondents. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) In this petition, the only prayer made is for grant of family pension to the petitioner. Her husband expired on 3.6.1987. He worked with the respondents as daily wage worker for more than six years. In support of his contention, counsel for the petitioner has relied upon decisions of this Court in the cases of Usha Rani v. State of Haryana and others, 2004 (4) Recent Services Judgments 546 (DB) and Rama Devi v. State of Haryana and others, 2005 (3) Recent Services Judgments 695 (DB).
