(2.) The Appellants are son and mother respectively.

(3.) The Appellant of Special Appeal No. 1557 of 2007, Smt. Saroj Pandey is the mother of Sushil Kumar Pandey and widow of Jyoti Bhushan Pandey. She filed the writ petition on the ground that her claim for family pension after presumed/civil death of her husband has been rejected by the authority concerned on the ground that the story regarding the legal death of her husband was untrue and in fact Jyoti Bhushan Pandey was temporary employee and was terminated from service and, therefore, there was no question of grant of family pension which was in fact claimed after an inordinate delay, that is to say, after more than 10 years, i.e., in the year 2004.
