Case Summary: WPA 28412/2025 The Calcutta High Court granted the writ petition of Soma Mukherjee, an unmarried daughter of a deceased primary school teacher, directing authorities to resubmit her family pension application. The pension had been rejected based on her receipt of welfare benefits (Lakhmi Bhandar and Krishak Bandhu), but the court found this rejection baseless since her total income fell below the revised Rs. 9,000/month ceiling limit established by the state government in November 2023. The District Inspector of Schools was directed to resubmit the case to the Directorate of Pension within eight weeks for pension payment issuance. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
