Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: Mr. Naveen Dayal, Advocate for the petitioner Mr. Hitesh Kaplish, Advocate for the respondents ***** SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) (1). The petitioner is wife of late Puran who had rendered military service. She seeks a direction to the respondents for the release of ‘family pension and other pensionary benefits to her. (2). In view of the fact that the petitioner has already produced the Succession Certificate which establishes that she is wife of late Puran Chand who passed away on 08.11.2005 and was recipient of the pension from the respondents, there appears to be no rhyme or reason for the respondent to refuse ‘family pension’ to the petitioner from the date of death of her husband. (3). The writ petition is accordingly allowed and the respondents are directed to do the needful within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. (4).
