is your grandmother alive? nevertheless, if withdrawals have been done under her signature at the time when she was alive then at most the genuineness of signatures may be challenged. if grandmother has passed away, withdrawals cannot be made after her death under her signature. i may further tell you that nominee is merely a trustee on behalf of all legal heirs and if she had not made a will, all her children (along with grandfather if alive) are legal heirs.

The PO might have provision of withdrawl thru messenager, in certain cases.

Check with Sub-Postmaster.

Show that money was withdrawn by messenger appointed by a/c holder and handed over to a/c holder.

ok thanks but it means she can put case against my father??or she is not eligible ??

She is legal heir of her mother and has equal share in estate left by her mother and can agitate for her share.

You may establish that money was withdrawn by messenger appointed by a/c holder and collected by a/c holder.

Nominee is not onwer. Nominee is mere a trustee and hand to recieve the proceeds and has to distribute equally amongst all legal heirs/successors.

 

Further your able counsel can guide you based on documents, inputs and evidence you place before the counsel.
