Section 108 IEA | Presumption of Death Must Precede Compassionate Appointment & Family Pension : CAT Allahabad Annuls Railway Employee Removal
CAT Allahabad set aside the removal of a railway employee presumed dead under Section 108 of the Indian Evidence Act, directing payment of family pension, arrears, and reconsideration of compassionate appointment for the son. The ruling underscores that disciplinary actions cannot proceed without first establishing legal presumption of death, ensuring due process for dependents.
