1.

The husband of the applicant was employed as Nursing Orderly and died on 23.06.2019, while in harness. The applicant was living separately from

her husband and filed a petition under Section 125 of Cr. P.C. in which she was granted maintenance of Rs. 3,000/- per month, which was later

enhanced to Rs. 13,000/- per month on the application under Section 127 of Cr. P.C. for enhancement. This maintenance amount was paid to her till

the death of her husband, after which the sons did not pay anything to the applicant. The applicant’s husband also nominated his sons with 50%

shares each of his retiral benefits but did not add the name of his wife. This OA has been filed seeking 1/3rd share of the retiral benefits.
