why the widow of the employee has not been paid the pension. The

with the counsel for the respondents. Not a single reason could have been
given by the counsel for the respondents that why the pension is not paid
to the widow of the deceased.
5. At the request made by the counsel for the respondents, the matter is
adjourned on 21st October, 2011. If the pension is paid, the counsel for the
respondents can mention this matter immediately before this Court for
passing further order.
