Can the Supreme Court intervene for unmarried daughter’s pension rights?

My father, who retired from the Madras Dock Labour Board, didn’t have a pension scheme for his unmarried daughter after his death. Since the board is under the central government, can the Supreme Court intervene?

If the Madras Dock Labour Board denies pension to unmarried daughters, you can file a writ petition in the High Court or Supreme Court citing constitutional rights. The court can direct the board to reconsider the policy. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
