[3.] The petitioner’s husband, late Mr. Uddhab Ch. Boro was working as a Grade-IV employee at Sorupeta High School, Bajali, died-in-harness on 02.10.2025. According to the petitioners, during his life time, he was married to both the petitioner No.1 and petitioner No.2. The petitioner No.1 is the first wife who lived separately while petitioner No.2 lived with him. In the service book of the late Uddhab Ch. Boro, petitioner No.2 was indicated as the nominee. When pension papers were being processed, the petitioner No.1 submitted her objection and due to which reason, the respondent No.6 did not process the pension papers any further. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that both the petitioners have now come to an agreement that the family pension would be shared between them equally and the share of the other service benefits like GIS, Gratuity, Leave Salary and GPF would be in the ratio of 40:60 between the petitioner No.1 and petitioner No.2 respectively. Accordingly, an agreement was made by the petitioners in writing before two reliable witnesses on 16.02.2026 at Bajali. The learned counsel submits that although the petitioners approached the respondent No.6 with the agreement but since the pension process has not been taken up, the petitioners are before this Court.
