    Summary of WPA 7586/2026 The High Court at Calcutta allowed petitioner Purna Chandra Mahapatra's writ petition to join the GPF scheme, following precedent permitting widows similar relief. Although his deceased wife (a teacher who died in 2001) could not avail the 2014 government option to switch schemes, the court directed the District Inspector of Schools to process his application, calculate the refund amount within two weeks, and issue a fresh Pension Payment Order within one month upon compliance with formalities, including release of pension arrears within two months.
