U O I . vs RABIA BIKANER — C.A. No. 4373/1997

The Supreme Court held that the widow of a casual railway labourer who died after only six months of service and screening (but without actual appointment to a temporary post) is not entitled to family pension under the 1964 Family Pension Scheme. The Court ruled that pension benefits are only admissible if the employee completed one year's continuous service *after* formal appointment to a regular temporary post, not merely upon obtaining temporary status through screening alone.
