After condoning the delay we took up the appeal. The claim of the appellant is that she is the widow of a deceased employee. Merely because her husband had omitted to show her name in the service records, she shall not be denied the family pension statutorily available to the wife of the deceased employee if really she is the wife. This is a matter to be considered by the respondent on production of appropriate application and the record showing her relationship with the deceased employee. In case the necessary application with the documents are produced within a month from today, the same shall be processed and disposed of within another four months. The writ appeal is disposed of accordingly. K.A. ABDUL GAFOOR, JUDGE K.R. UDAYABHANU, JUDGE. RV
