A Govt servant is not supposed to keep two wives. Hence second wife not entitled to any pension.

second wife is not eligible for pension. With the death of legitimate wife(widow) pension will also come to an end.
dr g balakrishnan (advocate/counsel supreme court) 12 November 2015
second wife need to file a writ inder art 226 r/w art14 to get right over the pension as she has a child born out of the wedlock, some witnesses of the marriage could vouch hermarriage to the demised govt employee, after all pension is like a property right for her under art 300A.
