The Orissa high court has instructed the Kendrapada district collector to provide family pension to a 91-year-old widow whose husband, a school teacher, passed away 46 years ago. The widow had been denied pension by the state authorities, who claimed she was ineligible as the pension was introduced after her husband's death. However, the court ruled in her favor, considering her husband's retirement date. The collector has been ordered to release the pension within two months. The widow resides with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandsons in Kendrapada.
