Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Nirmala Devi's Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court's order denying her family pension claim from Ramesh Kumar's service. The Court found that Nirmala had fraudulently claimed marriage to Ramesh Kumar (who died in 2006) to obtain benefits, when she was actually married to Suresh Kumar (married 26.6.1995) and only dissolved that marriage by mutual consent in 2011—five years after Ramesh's death. The Court upheld the High Court's rejection of her petition, ruling she could not be treated as Ramesh Kumar's wife for pension purposes.
