For this purpose, the informant shall specify nominee(s) in Annexure A at the time of furnishing the information. If there are more than one legal heirs or nominees, the reward amount shall be distributed in equal share unless indicated otherwise in Annexure- A or the right is relinquished by any or more of the legal heirs.
