HC pulls up Maharashtra govt for denying benefits to martyr's widow
The Business Guardian
|April 13, 2024
The Bombay High Court on Friday expressed displeasure with the Maharashtra government for its failure to decide on granting benefits to the widow of an Army major, who was martyred in Jammu and Kashmir, under its policy for ex-servicemen.
-
A division bench of Justices Girish Kulkarni and Firdosh Pooniwalla said it was ‘’not happy ‘’ and ‘’surprised’’ with the government’s stand despite orders passed by the court asking the chief minister to consider the matter as a ‘’special case’’.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Aakriti Sood, widow of late Major Anuj Sood, seeking benefits (monetary) for ex-servicemen under two government resolutions of 2019 and 2020.
Major Sood lost his life on May 2, 2020 while rescuing civilian hostages from terrorist hideouts in Jammu and Kashmir, and was awarded the Shaurya Chakra posthumously.
