Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legal entitlement of the appellant to the deceased's General Provident Fund (GPF) and other benefits, considering the change in nomination after marriage. The court analyzed whether the subsequent nomination in favor of the appellant superseded the earlier nomination in favor of the mother. The court held that the latest valid nomination, made after marriage, governs the distribution of benefits, and the appellant is entitled to the GPF and other benefits accordingly.
