Subject was serving with Police department. Became very sick with nobody to look after at place of posting. Family member (sister) and other fetched him from place of posting to home location (family hometown) and cared for him. But he died. Police department approached for collecting PF/Gratuity/Other dues of the deceased. Informed that a nominee (female) exists. Deceased never informed family about wife (mistress?) nor was this person (nominee mentioned in Police records) available to take care of deceased during his severe illness. Police official informed about this matter and have asked family (sister) to produce Court Order to stay disbursement of dues of deceased to nominee. What can be done in this case? (1) File case against unknown nominee for neglecting welfare of deceased and hence forfeit amount due to deceased? (2) Any other legal course of action. Also, what documents need to be obtained for proper legal action. Thanks.
