At the time of death only 1.80 lakh was deposted after death. legal heir (wife, 2 Children, and mother) have deposted 1.80 Lakhs. Prayed the office for waving off the balance amount but they refused. Legal heirs file an application in lok adalat for requesting the court for settlement with principle amount ,the matter is in lok adalat now, mean while bank issued a demand notice for balance loan with interest. and saying the will put the house on auction under sarfaesi act 2002 .Now my question is :
