Allahabad HC says that Pension’s non-payment is an ongoing wrong

In a case, the petitioner had tried to get family pension in his late mother’s favour including the interest. The petitioner’s writ petition was dismissed as the mother had not claimed and had not come before the Court when she was alive. The petitioner came up asking for pension very late i.e. after 35 years of his father’s death, the Single Judge stated. Dhananjaya Yeshwant Chandrachud, Chief Justice and Yashwant Varma, Justice of the Allahabad High Court set aside the Single Judge’s order which dismissed the petitioner’s petition on the delay and laches or limitation reason and said to file it again before the Single Judge for fresh disposal. The Court noted that continuing or successive wrongs or delay or laches or limitation cannot prevent the claim till the claim does not muddle with the rights of third parties which may have generated in interim time.
