He is having 6 acres agri land owned by him and 4 acres got from his late brother as his brother does not have any children... he also have one own house and one house which he got it from joint property. Actually we are staying in Mumbai and he stays in my village along with his brothers... now he is showing interest in second marriage and also told that he will give one acre of agri land and one house...I came to know that the women have one child from her first marriage... 4 years back he also wrote one will saying that it’s his first and last will all the property will be give to me after his death.
Now my question are :-
1. Will his second wife be entitle for pension after his death
2. Who will be the legal hire after his death if he doesn’t write any will
3. Can he cancel the will which wrote before and give all the property to his second wife including 04 acres which got from his brother and one joint property house.

TO hold him from doing all this things get first WILL created by him into Gift Deed and get registered on your name mention all the properties which needs to transferred on your name and make the GIFT deed immediately.  And for pension it totally depends upon him to whom the pension should be given after him if he nominate her second wife's name in the Pension Account then she will get it. Plus the marriage should be registered.

1. Yes, his second wife will be entitled to get the pension after his death. 

2. After his death his property would be devolved upon all the legal heirs  including his step wife & her kids , including you all. 

3. Yes, during his life he can make WILL in favour of any one and cancels the same . Only the last WILL is valid. 

4. Since, the 6 acres agri land was owned by him and 4 acres got from his brother , also one owned house and one house which he got from joint property , these all properties would be considered as self acquired property . and he is having his right to transfer the said properties to anyone as per his wish , and no one has right to claim over the same during his life time. 

- Hence, you cannot hold the properties against his consent under the circumstances given by you.

Yes

If he do not revoke the WILL, you will inherit all his property which are not alienated. 

WILL can be revoked any time and execute fresh WILL.

In father life time, you do not have any say in his self acquired property.

Dear Sir,

The second wife is fully entitled for the pension. After marriage with that lady; the surviving spouse and the children from both the marriage will be the legal heirs. The WILL can be cancelled/rewritten any time. The best way would to have cordial relations with the father and keep him in faith. The legal way will be filing injunction suit and refraining from writing ancestral property to anyone.
