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. They have also committed purgery in the succession case by giving false and fabricated information. 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.

Legal Information
Below is a comprehensive legal analysis based on Indian law for your question.
If the children of your deceased aunt, who are the respondents in your succession case, have not submitted any proof of being the legal heirs of your deceased aunt and have provided false and fabricated information, then they may face challenges in the court. The principle of truthful disclosure and the prohibition against perjury are fundamental to the administration of justice, and any false information provided by the respondents could be detrimental to their case.
As the sole surviving legal heir of your deceased aunt, you have a strong basis to claim your half share in the succession case. The court may consider your claim based on your status as a Class 2 legal heir and may not allow the respondents to plead their relief if they have not provided sufficient proof of their status as legal heirs or if they have committed perjury.
It is important to present all relevant evidence and arguments to support your claim in the succession case and to bring to the court's attention any false or fabricated information provided by the respondents. Your advocate can guide you on the legal strategies to strengthen your case and ensure that your rights as a legal heir are protected in the proceedings.
