General Legal Query · 27 Jun 2026

In my succession case, I have only asked for my half share in the movable assets of my deceased middle aunt. Earlier I was declared class 2 legal heir along with my eldest aunt. My mother being the youngest sister of the 2, predeceased both of them on 21/01/2026 Next my middle aunt died on 04/05/2026. The eldest aunt died on 11/01/2023. I filed a succession case in April 2023 and I brought the children of my deceased defendant on record as respondents number 1,2,3. The respondents in their written statement had purely defensive pleadings. They filed no claim, no counter claim or any separate prayer to avail their 1/2 share. As per Hindu succession Act, under section 15 1 d read with section 16, my eldest aunt is the only surviving daughter and I as the petitioner fall under the representational branch of predeceased daughter. We are both identified as legal heirs, being the heirs of the father. Now, my question is, do the 3 respondents stand a chance to get the 1/2 share of their mother in my case? Or will they follow another remedy as per law to avail their mother's share? Is it true that in inheritance the court gives the share of all at a go? And does not keep the shares of one party in bains?

My defendant committed purgery in my succession case. I filed a purgery case which is a criminal case against her I have a prediction that she may not appear upon summoning after my preliminary evidence. She may give authority via GPA to another person to appear on her behalf. My advocate is somehow in favour of her and says let the GPA attend the court dates on my defendant's behalf and that my defendant will still be accused. Is this correct?

I am giving objections to the GPA, SPA and the false statement written by the attorney who is designated as the GPA and the SPA. previously I had submitted objections without an affidavit and the title of my objections was, "written points of the case." The judge did not let the reader stamp them as she said that they are points of my oral arguments. But the opposite councel somehow managed to get a copy of my "written points of the case," and he filed a reply which he managed to get it stamped by the reader. I again filed a rebuttal to the opposite councel's reply. Which was again not stamped but placed on record. Can I also file a fresh rebuttal along with my fresh objections along with an affidavit?

My mother was the youngest of the 3 sisters. She died on 21/01/2020. The sister elder to my mother was an issuless widow who died intestate on 04/05/2020. Upon the death of this middle sister, I filed a declaration case in which I made the eldest sister a defendant, so that we both can be declared class 2 legal heirs. We were declared so by the court. While I was in the process of filing the succession case, the eldest sister cum my defendant in my SUCCESSION case, died. Thus i made her children a party to my succession case. I being the surviving class 2 legal heir cum petitioner in my SUCCESSION case made the children of my deceased defendant a party to my succession case. My deceased defendant and myself have previously already been declared class 2 legal heirs by the court. The children of my deceased defendant have recently filed an application which has the following words : "THAT THE MIDDLE SISTER HAD 2 SISTERS, THE ELDEST ONE AND THE YOUNGEST ONE {Being my mother/ mother of the petitioner.} THE YOUNGEST SISTER DIED ON 21/01/2020 AND HER DEATH WAS PRIOR TO THE DEATH OF THE MIDDLE SISTER AND THAT THE PETITIONER {myself} DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE CATEGORY OF CLASS 2 LEGAL HEIR OF THE MIDDLE SISTER AND HAS GOT NO LOCUS STANDII TO FILE THE SUCCESSION CASE. THE ELDEST SISTER DIED ON 11/01/2023 AND AT THE TIME OF DEATH OF THE MIDDLE SISTER, THE ELDEST SISTER WAS THE ONLY LIVING SUCCESSOR OF THE MIDDLE SISTER. IT IS PRAYED THAT THE SUCCESSION CASE FILED BY THE PETITIONER MAY BE DISMISSED." My SUCCESSION case is now on consideration/arguments stage. The 3 children of my deceased defendant have never filed any document in the succession court up to now which shows that they are the legal heirs of my deceased defendant. What answer should I write in reply to this application filed by the 3 children of my deceased defendant who was also the eldest sister?

I am declared class 2 legal heir along with my defendant in the declaration case that I filed. We both became owners of the immovable property that the court gave us mutually. My defendant died. Four years have passed since the death of my defendant. I could not manage to register the ownership of the house in our names. Now when I went to the Tehsildar's office to get our joint registry, they asked me to get my decree and judgement for being declared a class 2 legal heirs validated as it was passed in the year 2022 and now we are in the year 2025. The children of my deceased defendant have not filed any proof of being the legal heirs of my deceased defendant in the court so far. Do I have to file an execution case? And if so, do I have to make the children of my deceased defendant a party to my execution case? The Tehsildar is telling me that I simply tell my advocate to file an application in the court and tell the judge to validate my class 2 legal heir decree. Can the children of my deceased defendant still file an application as an outsider in my execution case just in case I file it?

In my SUCCESSION case, My respondents are not proved legal heirs of their deceased mother who was my deceased defendant. They have given a GPA and a SPA to their daughter cum niece. Mother gave the SPA. MOTHER'S SISTER gave GPA to the same daughter alias her niece. Do both of them have the authority to execute the GPA and the SPA? MY deceased defendant never gave any authority or GPA to the 2 respondents of mine in succession case. Now, the GPA, SPA has further given a joint statement with the opposite councel, that it is my DAVA as a Petitioner that they should be given half the share in the succession case. This is a false statement on part of the GPA, SPA and the opposite councel. Is this GPA, SPA maintainable?

I am the petitioner in my SUCCESSION case. I have completed bringing my evidence in my succession case. I now wish to give an application for liquidating the bank locker contents by requesting the judge to grant me a local commissioner, so that the jewellery can all be converted in to cash upon sale in the presence of the local commissioner. This will be easy for both my respondents and myself, when we share it in to 2 halves. We are yet to do the final arguments. Would the court reject my application for liquidating the contents of the locker? Would the court agree with the respondents in case they give a negative reply to my application? OR.....would the locker liquidation stage come after I get my succession certificate...????

Your Question: Myself and my aunt were declared class 2 legal heirs by the court. My aunt died. I being a class 2 legal heir, filed a succession case of movable assets. I made the children of my deceased defendant a party to my succession case. In my prayer I only asked for my half share in the movable assets. The children of my deceased defendant have not filed any proof of being the legal heirs of my deceased defendant. I also got the bank locker inventory done by requesting for a Local Commissioner in the court and the Local Commissioner has submitted his report in the court along with a jeweller's report who evaluated the monetary value of the contents of the locker. Now, a decree will be passed in favour of my half share in the movable assets. The judge will pass an order via which I will be able to approach the banks to avail my 1/2 share in the movable assets. But, what about the gold items in the locker..? How will the items in the locker be divided into two halves. Because I will avail my half share in the locker contents and the other half will remain there for the children of my deceased defendant to avail once they attain the legal heirs certificate later on. Is there a process before the judgement is passed that I can approach the court to notify the court that the items in the locker need to be liquidated? What is the procedure of the liquidation of the contents of the locker in the bank? Do the contents of the locker have to be sold with help of court commissioner? How do I approach the judge on this matter? Because in the total amount in the succession case, I have also included the monetary assessment of the locker contents. How will the court liquidate the locker contents?

My respondents in my SUCCESSION case have filed a declaration case against me in which they say that my class 2 legal heir decree and judgement and consent decree are null void , fraud and illegal. For the past one and a half year, the respondents, now the petitioners in the null void case have not come or brought in any evidence in this case. I am the defendant and I filed a peace meal application so that all my 3 petitioners can be cross examined on the same day as they are brothers and sisters. The councel for the petitioners has given a very negative reply. Is it okay if I file a reply to the reply by the opposite councel? Though my councel argued partly on this peace meal application because the case was on arguments for peace meal application.

Your Question: My court submission was not stamped by the reader and my advocate tells me that it will now be read by the judge as a document to assist the court in her reading for the judgement. I went to take a certified copy of my submission but the copy section of the court told me that they can not issue me a certified copy unless the document is stamped by the reader in court. I need the certified copy to submit it in another case in my evidence. What should my advocate do to get my submitted document stamped? Will the court reader stamp a document that has been submitted earlier on at a previous date? In India, the stamping of documents is important as it serves as proof of the document's authenticity and validity. When a document is submitted to the court, it should ideally be stamped by the court reader to indicate that the document has been officially received by the court. If your court submission was not stamped by the court reader when it was initially submitted, it may create issues, especially if you need a certified copy for use in another case as evidence. In such a situation, your advocate should take immediate steps to rectify the mistake. Your advocate should first bring this issue to the attention of the court and request that the document be stamped by the court reader. Generally, the court reader may agree to stamp the document to rectify the oversight, especially if it is brought to their attention promptly. If the court reader is unwilling to stamp the document due to the delay or for any other reason, your advocate may need to file a formal application seeking permission from the court to rectify the omission and get the document stamped. The court will then decide on the appropriate course of action. It is important to address this issue promptly, as delay may impact the admissibility and validity of the document in the court proceedings. Your advocate should handle this matter efficiently to ensure that the document is properly stamped and certified for use in other legal proceedings. Will the judge refuse for the stamping of the documents by the reader?
