Orders
The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir allowed the substitution application, bringing Satya Devi on record as the legal representative of deceased Naik Dharam Chand, who expired on 13.01.2024, entitling her to family pension. On the main petition, the court disposed of the case as being fully covered by the Supreme Court's Balakrishnan Mullikote judgment, directing the Union of India to process the respondent's pension claim within six months in compliance with that precedent, which permits condonation of service shortfall of one year or less for pension eligibility. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
