Allahabad High Court Rules Unmarried Sisters Entitled to Insurance and Pension Benefits
The Allahabad High Court ruled in two cases that unmarried sisters are entitled to benefits following the death of their brothers. In one case, the court directed Oriental Insurance Company to pay Rs 5 lakh to a woman whose brother died in a road accident, rejecting the insurer's claim denial based on family definitions. In another, the court ordered payment of family pension arrears with interest to an unmarried sister of a deceased government employee, emphasizing that statutory service rules cannot be overridden by government orders.
