Versus

State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI Present:- Mr. Jagjit Singh, Advocate for the petitioner.

**** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) Present petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking 100% family pension after the death of her husband Sh. Balwinder Singh, who was in the employment of the respondents. In the writ petition, the petitioner has contended that there is no valid justification to deny 100% family pension and therefore, the grant of 50% pension in favour of the petitioner is unjustifiable. Counsel for the petitioner further states that for the relief which has been claimed in the present writ petition, the petitioner has served respondents with a legal notice on 14.08.2018 (Annexure P-4), which is still pending consideration with the respondents and the petitioner will be satisfied, at this stage, in case a time bound direction is given to the respondents to decide the said legal notice.
