Pension is a family right as well, contends Rathore

HANDIGARH: Disgraced former Haryana DGP, S P S Rathore wants pension for his family. According to Rathore, "Pension is a right, which devolves on the officer's family also and during his lifetime, it is necessary for his sustenance; thereafter it is to be enjoyed by his dependents, specifically his unmarried daughter and wife." These submissions were made by Rathore before the Punjab and Haryana high court in response to a petition filed by ministry of home affairs (MHA) against the restoration of his pension.
In his petition filed on May 2 before the high court, MHA had pleaded that Rathore has been convicted and sentenced by the trial court for molestation and his sentence has also been upheld by the high court, thus he deserved to be punished by withholding the pension benefits. Thereafter, HC had asked Rathore to file his response in the matter.
