My question is :In the event of ongoing divorce in case of central govt employee , who is the petitioner in divorce case and is planning for retirement , What claims on his retirement benefits are admissible under law ( gratuity/Leave encasement/AGIF/commutation/pension), also consider the following input that NOK/nominee is not the estranged spouse. 1.Can she lay any claim at all on any retirement benefits besides maintenance. 2. Are there any category of the retirement benefits mentioned above exempted totally from claim by any person i.e cannot approach court for those benefits under any situation as not permissible by law. 3.Can any appeal /stay/injunction be allowed by the court against payment of retirement benefits pending in PCDA ( pensions) and claimed for by the respondent in the divorce case OR will the payment be granted and processed by pension office regardless. 4.Is there a difference on this subject in respect of army officers and other central govt employees.5. Are there any legal safeguards one can take against such eventualities beforehand? 6.Lastly , please suggest or advice legal ways and means to combat the situation as i am not willing to share the hard earned retirement benefits. Thanks in advance.
