IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3080 of 2009 1. SHANTI DEVI WIFE OF LATE CHAKRA BAHADUR RAI, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE/MOHALLA- RAMJICHAK BATA, P.O. DIGHA, P.S. DIGHA, DISTRICT-PATNA. ----- PETITIONER Versus 1. THE UNION OF INDIA , THROUGH SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF DEFENCE, NEW DELHI. 2. THE OFFICER INCHARGE, C.D.A.( PENSION), ALLAHABAD(UP). 3. THE OFFICER COMMANDING, STATION WORKSHOP, DANAPUR CANTT, PATNA( BIHAR) 4. THE SUB-AREA COMMANDAR, JOB SUB-AREA, DANAPUR CANTT, PATNA ( BIHAR) ---- RESPONDENTS. ----------- 05. 25.01.2010 Heard Mr. Ritesh Kumar No.1 for the petitioner. None appears on behalf of the respondents. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 17th August 2007, passed by the learned Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench, Patna, in O.A.No. 190 of 2005 ( Shanti Devi vs. The union of India and others), whereby O.A.No. 190 of 2005, has been dismissed. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner. It appears that the petitioner’s husband was a chowkidar in the Army Establishment at Danapur, and died on 22.12.1980. She thereafter started getting family pension which was stopped in 1983, on the basis of an enquiry conducted by the authorities which was to the effect that the petitioner had re- married after her first husband died. The learned Tribunal has, therefore, rejected the petitioner’s application for resumption of demand of family pension primarily on the ground of remarriage, and also on the ground of delay. The original 2 application has been filed after a lapse of 22 years. In the facts and circumstances of the case, we agree with the impugned order. The writ petition is dismissed.
