The Delhi High Court on Tuesday has given a notification in a request recorded looking for directions to discharge the amount of benefits for the Widows in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic.
A bench of the Chief Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Prateek Jalan has given notification to the Delhi Government and asked for its reaction. The request has been recorded by Mr. Harpal Singh Rana, a social specialist through his Advocate Mr. Akhil Rana looking for bearing to the respondents to discharge the amount of widow beneficiaries quickly after due confirmation of those retired people whose pension has been retained and is stopped uniquely on some imaginary grounds. Mr. Akhil while appealing to the Court presented that the Widow annuity has been retained giving an obscure explanation that the location of the retired person was not found. Around 12000 women had denied pension during the lockdown. The women are also being denied the financial assistance for their daughter’s marriages.
The appeal expressed that “the Parameters/Condition for the Widow Pension and Financial help for marriage of the Widow’s little girl are not consistence with one another.”
