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?

In the situation you have described, as a class 2 legal heir, you are entitled to claim your half share in the movable assets of the deceased, which would include the contents of the bank locker. Since the children of your deceased defendant have not provided any proof of being legal heirs, the court is likely to pass a decree in your favor for your half share in the movable assets.

Regarding the division of the items in the locker, if you wish to liquidate the contents and divide the proceeds equally between yourself and the children of the deceased defendant, you can make a request to the court for the same. Below are the general steps involved in the process of liquidating the contents of the locker:

1. **File an Application:** You can file an application with the court requesting permission to liquidate the contents of the locker. In the application, you should mention the details of the contents, the estimated value, and the reasons for requesting liquidation.

2. **Court Order:** If the court finds your request valid, it may pass an order allowing the liquidation of the locker contents. The court may appoint a court commissioner or any other authorized person to oversee the process.

3. **Inventory and Valuation:** Similar to the process you followed for the bank locker inventory, a Local Commissioner or a jeweler may be appointed to prepare an inventory of the items in the locker and evaluate their monetary value.

4. **Sale of Contents:** The contents of the locker can then be sold through a public auction or any other suitable method approved by the court. The proceeds from the sale will be divided as per the court's directions.

5. **Distribution of Proceeds:** After deducting any expenses related to the liquidation process, the remaining proceeds will be divided as per the court's order - half to you as the entitled heir and half to the children of the deceased defendant once they establish their legal heirship.

It is essential to seek legal advice and follow the appropriate legal procedures to ensure a smooth liquidation process. You can approach the judge by filing a formal application or petition detailing your request for the liquidation of the locker contents and seeking the court's approval for the same. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer specializing in succession and probate matters to assist you through this process.
