Service matter - compassionate allowance under Rule 41 of the Pension Rules, 1972. - Apex court held that One of his brothers died, and thereafter, his father and brother’s wife also passed away. His own wife was suffering from cancer. All these tribulations led to his own ill-health, decipherable from the fact that he was suffering from hypertension and diabetes. It is these considerations, which ought to have been evaluated by the competent authority, to determine whether the claim of the appellant deserved special consideration, as would entitle him to compassionate allowance under Rule 41 of the Pension Rules, 1972.= Mahinder Dutt Sharma ….
