    The Gauhati High Court dismissed Mumtaz Begum's writ petition with liberty to institute appropriate maintenance proceedings against Respondent No. 6 (the first wife receiving pensionary benefits of the deceased husband), in accordance with the Full Bench decision in Mustt Junufa Bibi v. Mustt Padma Begum. The petitioner's counsel withdrew the petition as the court found maintenance should be claimed from the first wife rather than the government.
