The Management should disburse the gratuity amount to the iemployee or his legal heirs. In case of doubts it should be remitted to the controling authority explaining the situation for non-disbursement.

No the protection of gratuity extends to the nominee/legal heirs since the money disbursed is the sum that was otherwise payable to the employee and pursuant to the nomination, disbursed to the nominee or the legal heirs.

Further to my answer, please review the Andhra High Court Judgement, affirming my views.
