Ct.No.1 D/L 20.04.2026 38 Saikat Mukherjee WP.CT/37/2026 KAPURAT HEMBRAM AND ORS. VS. UNION OF INDIA AND ORS. Mr. Indranil Chakravarti, Adv. Mr. Koushik Bhattacharyya, Adv. …For the Petitioners Mr. Pinaki Ranjan Chakrabarti, Adv. …For the Respondent/ Union of India Mr. Swapan Kr. Mazumdar, Adv. Mr. Saptarshi Mazumdar, Adv. …For the Nabadwaip Municipality Dictated by Sujoy Paul, CJ. 1. Parties are represented through their respective learned counsel. 2. With the consent, finally heard. 3. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the parties fairly submitted that after the death of Late Bhaguram Hembram, the O.A. No.350/1825/2024 was filed by his mother and two children claiming family pension and other retiral dues. 4. The Tribunal rightly opined that the widow of deceased, namely, Hiramoti Murmu was a necessary party. The petitioner is now ready to implead the necessary party by preferring an application before the Tribunal and it is prayed that such opportunity may be granted and after putting the said widow to notice, the O.A. may be reheard and re-decided. 5. In view of consensus arrived at, the impugned order of Tribunal dated 1st September, 2025, is set aside. The O.A. No.350/1825/2024 is restored to its original number and file. 6. The petitioner is at liberty to file an application seeking impleadment of Hiramoti, the wife of deceased employee. In that case, the Tribunal may allow the said application for impleadment and put the said lady to notice and after hearing both the parties, the Tribunal may pass a fresh order in accordance with law without getting mechanically influenced by its previous order. 7. Since it is a matter of family pension/retiral dues, we hope, the Tribunal will endeavour to decide it expeditiously, preferably within two months from the date the said lady is put to notice. 8. With aforesaid and without expressing any opinion on merits, the petition is disposed of. 9. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties, on priority basis, upon compliance of all necessary formalities.
