1. Heard Mr. Jain, learned Advocate for Petitioner. Perused the averments made in the Petition seeking legal heirship certificate of deceased Sebastian Louzado s/o. Juan Xavier Louzado.

2. Mr. Jain would inform that Elizabeth Louzado has filed her consent affidavit dated 20.01.2023. He would submit that Respondent Nos. 2b and 2c have been served and affidavit of service to that effect dated 15.04.2023 is placed on record.

¶14

when the wife of Sebastian Louzado had expired in the past and similar consent affidavits were required to be filed for seeking Letters of Administration, Respondent Nos. 2b and 2c did not come forward and file the same, despite which the Letters of Administration were granted.

¶15

3. In the present case, considering that the service has already been effected on Respondent Nos. 2b and 2c and consent affidavit of Respondent No. 3 is already on record, the present Petition deserves to be allowed. The purpose for filing the present Petition is stated in paragraph No. 8 of the Petition.

¶16

4. In view of the above, present Misc. Petition is allowed and disposed of in terms of prayer clause (b) which reads thus:-

¶17
