Husband is state govt. pension holder and not staying with wife and not giving any alimony to wwife. Is there any law or any provision, so that wife can get any portion of pension hence husband is alive?.

Yes, if the wife is unable to maintain herself/cover her expenses, she can file for maintenance u/s 125 of the CrPC. She can apply for restitution of conjugal rights, which is her marital right, and the husband's failure to comply with which will provide her with a ground for divorce. Post that, she can also apply for permanent alimony u/s 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act.
