Supreme Court Orders Compensation and Pension for Shaurya Chakra Awardee's Widow
The Supreme Court has ordered the Union Government to pay Rs 10 lakh in additional compensation and grant a Special Family Pension to the widow of Mohan Singh, a General Reserve Engineering Force worker who died in 2000 while saving colleagues during border road construction. The court upheld the Punjab and Haryana High Court's ruling that the widow is entitled to extraordinary pension benefits from the date of Singh's death, overriding previous limits on arrears. Singh was posthumously awarded the Shaurya Chakra for his sacrifice.
