The father of the petitioner who was a deceased employee died in the year 1991. Her mother being an eligible widow was granted family pension. The petitioner got married in the year 2012. The mother of the petitioner died on 27.06.2022. After the death of the mother, the petitioner filed an application for divorce from her husband. The petitioner instituted divorce proceedings before the competent court against her husband on 05.10.2023. The suit was registered as Suit No. 1856 of 2023. Admittedly, the divorce proceedings were instituted after the death of her mother. The petitioner is not entitled to family pension since all responsibilities of the employer stood discharged after the death of the mother and at that point in time the petitioner was not divorced. The petitioner had earlier got a notarized affidavit in regard to the alleged divorce between her and her husband which was rejected by this Court in the judgement and order dated 29.05.2023 in Writ A No. 7938 of 2023 (Rachna Dubey vs. State of U.P. and 4 Others). The writ petition is dismissed. Order Date :- 13.2.2025 Vandit Digitally signed by :- VANDIT AGRAWAL High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
