Manjula Maiti v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

SM 04.08.2025 Court No.759 WPA 7099 of 2025 Manjula Maiti Vs The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Ms. Ina Bhattacharyya ... for the petitioner Mr. Avijit Sarkar Mr. Abhishek Chakraborty ... for the State Affidavit of service filed on behalf of the petitioner is taken on record.

The petitioner is already receiving the family pension. The date from which the family pension has been sanctioned is alleged to be incorrect.

The benefit has been given to the petitioner on and from 27th September, 2024.

The petitioner states that she is entitled to receive the same on and from the next date of death of her husband, i.e. 16.02.2013. The husband of the petitioner expired on 16th February, 2013.

It appears that the Treasury Officer, Tamluk has already communicated to the Director, DPPG about the mismatch of the date of death of the employee and his widow and the date of commencement of the enhanced family pension. The Director, DPPG is yet to respond to the same.

In view of the above, the instant writ petition is disposed of by directing the Director, DPPG to make necessary correction in the PPO and issue revised PPO after verification of the records at the earliest but positively within a period of six weeks from the date of communication of this order.

The arrear payment shall be disbursed in favour of the petitioner at the earliest but positively within a period of sixteen weeks from the date of communication of this order.

The writ petition stands disposed of.

Urgent certified photocopy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties expeditiously on compliance of usual legal formalities.
