In these circumstances, until the petitioner???s marital status is set aside by a competent court or the documents relied upon are declared invalid, the presumption of validity attaches to the official record produced by her. Consequently, for the limited purpose of release of service benefits, the petitioner???s entitlement as a widow cannot be disregarded based on unsubstantiated allegations alone. 12. Accordingly, the applications filed by the intervener seeking impleadment, recall of the main order under Section 12(2), C.P.C., are dismissed for being devoid of merit. The petitioner???s entitlement to a widow's pension and service shall be released upon proper verification and identification by the Nazir and the respondent department. However, the Nazir shall obtain an undertaking/bond from the petitioner to the effect that in case of any contrary final determination by a competent court in appropriate proceedings, she shall refund the amount so received.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
