The Rajasthan High Court ruled that a quarter of the daughter‑in‑law’s salary must be deposited into her mother‑in‑law’s account and that the deceased employee’s service benefits be split equally between them.
The Rajasthan High Court delivered a judgment in a case concerning the appointment of a government employee named Anukampa, who remarried after her initial posting. The court directed that twenty‑five percent of the daughter‑in‑law’s monthly salary be transferred directly into the account of her mother‑in‑law.
In addition to the salary directive, the bench ordered that the final service benefits of the deceased employee be divided equally between the mother‑in‑law and the daughter‑in‑law, ensuring both parties receive an identical share.
The ruling underscores the court’s stance on financial obligations arising from familial relationships in employment matters, and it sets a precedent for similar disputes involving post‑marital financial arrangements within the public service.
No comments were recorded from the parties involved at the time of the judgment, and the court’s order is now enforceable pending any appeal.
The decision was reported from Jaipur, where the High Court sits, and will be implemented by the relevant departmental authorities.
