HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW WRIT - A No. - 10229 of 2025 Court No. - 8 HON'BLE MANISH MATHUR, J. Heard learned counsel for petitioner, learned State Counsel for opposite parties. Petition has been filed challenging order dated 21.06.2025 whereby petitioner's application for grant of family pension on account of demise of her husband Late Jalil Ahmad has been rejected on the ground that her name does not find any mention as a nominee in the service book of her husband. It is submitted that petitioner's husband superannuated on 30.11.2012 and his first wife namely Smt Nazma Begum passed away on 02.11.2017 whereafter petitioner entered into marriage with Sri. Jalil Ahmad on 25.09.2018. He has adverted to the certificate of registration of marriage annexed as annexure no.4 to the writ petition issued on 30.03.2019. It is therefore submitted that it was on account of marriage being entered into between petitioner and her husband after his superannuation that her name does not find mention as a nominee. Learned State Counsel in rebuttal submits that family pension has not been made admissible to petitioner on account of the fact that her name does not find mention as a nominee in the service book. Upon consideration of submissions advanced by learned counsel for petitioner and perusal of material on record, it appears that the fact that the petitioner had entered into a registered marriage with the deceased Sri Jalil Ahmad on 25.09.2018 with the registration certificate also being issued on 13.03.2019 appears to have escape attention of the authority concerned.
