Directing the Army to grant special family pension to the widow of a Major found dead in a bathroom 23 years ago in a case of brain haemorrhage due to hypertension, the AFT has asked the authorities to not adopt any ‘mechanical or hyper technical’ method in denying relief as is being followed in such cases. She was not granted the special family pension considering it to be a case of death as neither attributable to nor aggravated by service.
