The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against the Central Administrative Council's decision rejecting the survivor's pension claim. The applicant argued that the deceased was the primary breadwinner and that the family relied heavily on the income, but the lower courts found no sufficient proof of this dependency. The court agreed with the lower courts, ruling that the statutory requirements for a survivor's pension were not met due to the lack of evidence regarding the applicant's financial reliance on the deceased.
