IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.496 of 2002 KAILASHI DEVI @ FAILASHI DEVI Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- 4 23.01.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The two petitioners claiming to be second and third wife of one Sri Bhola Singh, who was earlier granted pension under the Freedom Fighter Pension Scheme, 1972 had made a prayer that since Sri Bhola Singh had died on 15.1.1986, they should be allowed the benefit of pension as the wife after death of the petitioner is entitled for such pension. This Court would find that the whole story of the two petitioners being second and third wife in presence of the first wife who only was entitled for being paid family pension after the death of Sri Bhola Singh, is not tenable inasmuch as the scheme only envisages the payment of pension to the first wife who otherwise also is legally wedded wife. That being so, there is no merit in this application and the same is hereby dismissed. Bibhash (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
