ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 27883 of 2011 I ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 20th day of October, 2011 J U D G M E N T ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Petitioner's son had subscribed a policy with the first respondent in which the second respondent is the nominee. Son expired on 17.05.2011. It is therefore that the writ petition has been filed, seeking a direction to the first respondent to release her share of the policy amount. Admittedly, the second respondent is the nominee to the policy. If that be so, the first respondent can disburse the policy amount only to the nominee. 2. In such circumstances, this Court will not be justified in directing the first respondent to disburse the policy amount, ignoring the nomination made by the deceased. Writ petition is dismissed.
