Poisoning Does Not Qualify For Extraordinary Pension; Allahabad High Court Rejects Appeal In Sub-Inspector's Death By Poisoning Case

The Allahabad High Court ruled that poisoning does not qualify for an extraordinary pension under the relevant government rules. The case involved an appeal by the family of a sub-inspector who died from poisoning, seeking an extraordinary pension. The court found that the circumstances of the death did not meet the criteria for such a pension, which is typically granted for deaths resulting from acts of violence or in the line of duty. The judgment clarifies the eligibility requirements for extraordinary pensions and ensures that the benefits are reserved for cases that meet the specified criteria.
