Widow received DA on both regular and family pension but still challenged it in court; HC explains why claim failed

A retired widow, Smt. Vanajakshi, mistakenly believed she wasn't receiving dearness allowance on her regular pension. Despite receiving DA on both her family and regular pensions, she filed a court case. The Madras High Court dismissed her claim, confirming she was already receiving DA on both pensions, as per company records and relevant rules.
