Himachal Pradesh High Court rules that stopping a widow's family pension based on unproven remarriage allegations is arbitrary and violates natural justice. The state must release arrears with 6% interest if not paid within three months, setting a precedent for burden of proof in pension disputes.

Allahabad High Court holds that a widow's claim to land succession is void if she remarries before the landholder's death, invalidating her claim under U.P. Consolidation Act, 1953.
