STATE OF ORISSA . vs MANORAMA GHOSE — C.A. No. 6961/2011

CASE SUMMARY: C.A. No. 006961/2011 — State of Orissa v. Manorama Ghose The Supreme Court allowed the State of Orissa's appeal and set aside the High Court and Tribunal orders that had granted family pension to Manorama Ghose. The Court held that since her husband was a work-charged employee (not regularized as permanent) when he died in 1994, and no order existed bringing him to regular establishment, the Orissa Pension Rules, 1977 did not permit family pension payment. The Court directed that if the respondent's son currently works as a work-charged employee, the State shall consider regularizing his appointment in accordance with law upon representation.
