In these circumstances, a balanced and legally sustainable approach is warranted to protect the petitioner???s rights if any without infringing upon the lawful entitlements of Respondent No.3. Accordingly, while declining the reliefs sought in terms of restraining or withholding retirement benefits, this Court observes and directs that the learned Family Court, where the petitioner???s maintenance suit is pending, shall proceed to decide the matter expeditiously, preferably within a stipulated period, strictly in accordance with law. Respondent No.3 is under a continuing legal and moral obligation to provide maintenance to the petitioner/dependents, and failure to do so shall entail legal consequences under the relevant family laws. The petitioner shall be at liberty to seek appropriate interim maintenance or any other relief, including attachment in accordance with law, before the competent forum. Any amount received by Respondent No.3 as retirement benefits shall remain subject to the outcome of the proceedings before the Family Court, and the petitioner???s lawful share, if determined, shall be enforceable in accordance with law. 11. Resultantly, the instant petition is disposed of in the above terms, along with pending applications, if any.Full judgment text for this case is not yet available on Pakistan Law Reports.
