I was declared a class 2 legal heir along with my eldest aunt by the court. My aunt died. On the basis of my class 2 legal heir decree, I filed a succession case. I made the children of my deceased aunt the respondents in my succession case. In my plaint my advocate mentioned that the 3 respondents are the legal heirs of my deceased aunt. In my pleading and prayer I have only requested for my half share. The 3 children of my deceased aunt have not submitted any proof of being the legal heirs of my deceased aunt. Would the judge let them plead their relief in my prayer. I have a basis on which I plead for my half share being a class 2 legal heir.

In a succession case where you have been declared a Class 2 legal heir and have claimed your half share in the inherited property, the judge may indeed allow the children of your deceased aunt, who are also claimed to be legal heirs in the plaint, to present their defense and evidence to establish their status as legal heirs of the deceased aunt.

The children of your deceased aunt have the right to contest the claim and present their evidence supporting their legal heirship. If they fail to submit any proof of being legal heirs, it may weaken their case, but they still have the opportunity to present their arguments and any supporting documents during the legal proceedings.

As the plaintiff and a declared legal heir, you have the burden of proving your entitlement to the inheritance as per the Class 2 legal heir decree. The court will consider all the evidence presented by both sides before making a decision on the distribution of the inherited property.

It is essential to adhere to the legal procedures and present all relevant evidence to support your claim during the succession case. Your advocate should guide you through the process and ensure that your case is presented effectively in court.
