ANRAJ DEVI vs DEEPAK KUMAR

Bench: 2 — J. K. Maheshwari, Rajesh Bindal

In Brief

A widow filed a contempt petition seeking compliance with a Supreme Court order regarding her deceased husband's absorption as Store Keeper at K.S.M College. She claimed family pension and post-retiral benefits were unpaid after his death. The Court declined direct adjudication but directed the University Registrar/Vice Chancellor to conduct a discrete enquiry into her benefit claims within three months. The petitioner must submit documents supporting her claim for arrears. The decision counts service from the absorption date, and benefits must be paid within two months of the Registrar's order, with recourse to the High Court if dissatisfied."
