Dear Sir/Ma’am, My divorce order is passed by the family court in Chennai (The Madras High Court) earlier this month. However I couldn’t obtain a copy of my divorce decree online. I have mentioned my ex wife as a nominee in my organisation for PF Transactions. To remove her from my profile, my organisation is asking me to submit the divorce decree. Please advise if there’s a way I can obtain the divorce decree online or can lawyers obtain a copy on my behalf ? Thanks in advance.

Copy of order passed by HC always available on court website. Or ask your lawyer to apply for certified copy. Easily will obtain.
And it is up to you to decide who will be your nominee and can change without any reason. Organization is wrongly interfering in your right appoint/replace nominee.
Normal functioning of courts is affected during the current lock-down in Chennai and in TN. Physical hearings are yet to resume. Courts are working with minimal staff. In the circumstances, you may have to wait. There is no urgency for you to change the nominee for your PF immediately, as your ex-wife cannot withdraw any money from it.
Dear sir,
You can obtain online if the decree is passed but that will be un official copy for your reference for official copy you have to obtain it through court or by applying certified copy!!
