As per case facts, Petitioner No.1 is the second wife of a deceased Assistant Lineman who died in service. The deceased had a prior 'Panchayati divorce' from his first wife, ... who remarried. Petitioner No.1 married him some years ago and had two daughters, becoming his nominee in service records. Despite an appointment letter for compassionate grounds, it was denied by the Corporation's Law Officer, citing the 'Panchayati divorce' as legally invalid and rendering her marriage void. Aggrieved by this, she appealed. The question arose whether the petitioner, as the deceased employee's second wife and nominee, is entitled to compassionate appointment, given her dependency and the first wife's waiver. Finally, considering the facts and precedents where second wives were entitled to benefits as nominees despite marriage validity issues, the High Court allowed the petition. It directed the respondents to permit Petitioner No.1, as the nominee and wholly dependent wife, to join duty in two weeks.
