THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL, BIHAR PATNA 3. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, BUXAR 4. THE DISTRICT EDUCATION SUPERINTENDENT,BUXAR ----------- 7 20.1.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. It is not disputed that the petitioner is supposed to be the second wife of the government employee who was a school teacher. She is claiming family pension in view of the fact that the first wife has died. The law and rule does not envisage to grant pension to the second wife. This Court has difficulty in accepting the prayer of the petitioner in view of the law in this regard specially after coming of the Hindu Marriage Act and the necessary family pension rules formulated by the State of Bihar. This writ application has no merit and it is dismissed accordingly. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
