Shubha Rani Pramanik and Ors. v. State of West Bengal and Ors.

What is this about?

Daughters of a retired school clerk who died in 2026 sought a direction to refund the Government's share of provident fund contributions with interest to enable pension benefits. The court noted the employee retired in 2006 and never claimed pension during his 20-year post-retirement life. The petition was dismissed as the claim for refund and pension after the employee's death was not permissible.
