    The Patna High Court disposed of Chandrakali Devi's petition seeking family pension and retiral benefits after her husband's death in 2021. The court directed authorities to adjudicate her family pension claim within two months by assembling all legitimate claimants and reviewing the compromise settlement already reached, noting that as the sole surviving widow at the employee's death, she is legally entitled to benefits under Bihar Pension Rules, 1950. The court also directed the District Magistrate to finalize compassionate appointment proceedings through the appropriate committee.
