Legal Heir Certificate issue
1 year ago
My grandfather is died and he has four legal heirs [my uncle (died), my father (died), 2 aunts).
Under the khatian number of my grandfather, there have multiple plot numbers. Now 3 of the plots was gifted to my uncle and father only in around 1988. However, the deed is missing now. From the mentioned 3 plots, 1 plot was sold by my uncle and father in 1990 and that deed is present.
Now my aunts have filed a warison petition in BLRO office to put the name of all four legal heirs of my grandfather for all plots.
For that reason, BLRO asked for the legal heir certificate of my father and my aunt has extracted the legal heir certificate without informing us (legal heirs of my father).
Now my question is:
1) Can I file a court case for extracting the legal heir certificate of my father by my aunt without informing us (legal heirs of my father)?
2) Can I file a court case to get 6 months stay order of that BLRO warison petition (submitted by my aunt) to find the deed of those plots which was gifted by my grandfather to my uncle and father only?

in case of death of a person without leaving a will, court may grant succession certificate in order to realise securities or debts of the deceased. A civil court issues succession certificate to the legal heirs of a deceased person.
It is required to establish the authenticity of the heirs. Also to authorize them to get assets or securities transferred in their names. Not to forget that assets comes with liabilities as such it also enables inheritance ofdebts. This is issued on the application from the beneficiary, to court as per laws of inheritance. It is necessary, though may not be always sufficient, to release or transfer the assets. For these letter of administration, no-objection certificates and death certificate is also required.
Application: As discussed earlier also, a petition is required to be filed with the competent jurisdiction where the assets are located.
Details: The application requires details like
– name of petitioner
– relationship with deceased
– names of all heirs of the deceased
– time, date and place of death
Also a copy of the death certificate is required to be produced.
Fees: A fixed percentage of the value of the estate is levied as fee for issuance of the certificate by the court. This fee is to be paid in the form of judicial stamp papers of the said amount. Only after this a the certificate is issued. Also, the lawyer will also charging their fees.
Process: The notice in the newspapers for a given period (generally 45 days) is issued by the court. In case where no one contests the petition on or before the expiry of given period, the court sanctions the order for issuance of succession certificate.
If the petition is not contested, the court usually issues a succession certificate in five to seven months.

A.Dear Client
Since your aunt has the legal heir by illegal means and that is also not correct so you need to file an application to the BLRO with the correct legal heir certificate. Yes, you can also file a case for injunction against the BLRO's steps and proceedings further.
