It involves lot of technicalities. Your sister even if filed cases was not divorced. so, her husband is the legal heir for all purposes unless you had your sister's will. In any event, you applied in his name for MACT. So, if now your claim is based on the settlement, then, you will have to file a case against sister's husband for recovery of the compensation and along with that you file a stay application that he may not be able to use that money and money be put in a fixed deposit.
does your sister have any child/
in this situation, when the applicant is husband, how can you claim the amount of compensation. at the most you entitled for expenses that you incurred on your sister during hospitalization.
