The Authorities on the basis of the evidence and taking note the entitlement of the respective parties may release the pensionary benefit payable to the deceased employee. In alternative, if petitioner and the respondents no. 5 and 6 so desire may avail remedy before the competent civil Court in accordance with law.

With the above observations the present writ petition stands disposed of.
