1 CRA 146 OF 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CIVIL REVISION APPLICATION NO. 146 OF 2008 Chandrakalabai w/o Bhagwanrao Deshmukh Appellant V E R S U S Bhimabai @ Shobha d/o Vitthalrao Chulkar and others Respondents Mr. Vijay Sharma, Advocate for the applicant Mr. A.S. Deshmukh, Advocate for respondent No.1 Mr. V.S. Panpatte, Advocate for respondents No. 2 and 3 CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 18th January, 2011 PER COURT : The applicant sought Succession Certificate for the purpose of getting family pension after her husband's death. Her husband was a pensioner of a Zilla Parishad. The Courts below refused to grant her Certificate, because they held that family pension does not amount to debt due to the deceased. I find no error in this finding. Family pension is an independent right of a spouse, and if such right is denied to her, she is entitled to agitate the question in an appropriate proceeding. The respondent No. 1 is getting the family pension and the applicant wants the pension for herself. In such situation, the applicant should resort to proper legal proceedings against the 2 CRA 146 OF 2008 respondent No. 1 as well as the employer. In view of this, Civil Revision Application stands dismissed. ( A.V. NIRGUDE, J. ) SRM/cra/146/08/18/1/11
