The amount will be released to the nominee if nomination has been made. The nominee is under an inescapable duty to divide the assets among the legal heirs of the deceased. A suit for injunction does not lie to restrain the bank/financial institution from releasing the amount to the nominee but you can seek injunction from the civil court to ask the nominee to divide the amount among the heirs.
Hi, As per law nominee will not get 100% amount you being the legal heir you will get the amount.
2. You have to institute suit in the Aurangabad Court itself.
You first have to issue a legal notice to the LIC manager instructing him to not to disburse the death claim amount to the nominee since you are the legal heir to the deceased and also initiate an injunction suit immediately in which you may ask temporary injunction as an interim relief restraining the LIC Manager from disbursing the police money to anyone till the disposal of the main suit.
you have to file a suit in the place where the LIC office is situated.
