Can a stepson get family pension of railway employee? Madras HC answers
NEW DELHI: The Madras high court has ruled that a stepson cannot claim family pension under the Railway Services (Pension) Rules, 1993, since the rules' definition of "family" does not cover stepchildren. The court, in its order on July 3, set aside a Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) order that had granted the benefit, and allowed a writ petition filed by the Railways challenging it.
