DATED : 06 th July, 2011 Petitioner claims amount of retiral benefits and pension from respondent No.1 as a nominee. Respondent No.1 employer has pointed out that respondent No.2 is claiming to be widow and has filed case for succession certificate. It is stated that in gratuity proceeding, respondent No.1 had deposited the gratuity amount with the Competent Authority under section 7 of the Payment of Gratuity Act. Mr. Dahat, learned Counsel for petitioner 2 states that though respondent No.1 has deposited an amount of Rs 3,78,680/- as gratuity amount payable to deceased son, neither petitioner before us nor respondent No.2 are in a position to furnish bank guarantee to secure repayment in case the dispute is resolved against their respective interest. Succession proceeding initiated by respondent No.2 vide succession Case No 158 of 2010 is already pending before the 2nd Joint, Civil Judge, Senior Division, Nagpur.
