In the year 2009, the petitioner\u2019s father expired. After he got expired his wife represented for grant of family pension which in the beginning was not granted and eventually an order withdrawing family pension was passed by AG\u2019s Office to the Superintendent of Police. Since in 2017 wife also expired her daughter i.e. petitioner claimed family pension which was not considered. Hence, this petition was filed before the High Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Petitioner submitted that this petition was maintainable by virtue of amended Rule 48 of the Meghalaya Civil Services (Pension) Rules issued by Finance (Pension Cell) Department, Government of Meghalaya. According to the aforementioned rule family for the purpose of pension constitute a daughter which includes widow daughter, till the date of marriage or remarriage or till the date, she starts earning or till she turns 25 years old.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Issue before the Court was whether petitioner (daughter) can claim family pension after the death of the wife (petitioner\u2019s mother) was found to be weakened by the fact that petitioner was otherwise not eligible to such family pension.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The High Court found that petitioner was married and above 25 years of age and by virtue of Rule 48 a married women cannot claim the family pension. Therefore, the petition was dismissed. [Prettilla M. Sangma v.
