Disability Family Pension | Certificate Filed Post-Death Still Valid Under Govt Order 12.11.1997: Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that dependents of deceased government employees are entitled to disability family pension even if the disability certificate was submitted only after the employee's death. This removes a procedural barrier that had unfairly denied welfare benefits to families, affirming that substantive disability must prevail over technical non-compliance with timing requirements under the 1997 Order.
