The securities described in the affidavit of assets were owned by one Hemmanur Umasankar, who is the husband of the first petitioner and the father of the petitioners 2 & 3. He died intestate on 12.06.2021 by leaving the petitioners alone as his legal heirs. Subsequent to his death, this petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking succession certificate.

¶29

4. Ex.P1 is the death certificate of O.S.Kashivyswanathan, who died on 12.06.2021. Ex.P2 is the computer generated legal heirship certificate of the deceased Hemmanur Umasankar, which would show that the petitioners alone are the legal heirs of the deceased. Since the petitioners are the only legal heirs, they are entitled to inherit the schedule mentioned properties equally among themselves.

¶30

The paper publication issued in Tamil Daily “Makkal Kural”, which is marked as Ex.P5 did not attract any objectors.

¶31

6. The above documentary evidence produced by the petitioners would prove their entitlement for the grant of Succession Certificate as prayed for.

¶32

7 . Hence, the Original petition is ordered and the Succession Certificate shall be issued in favour of the petitioners, with power to collect the securities and to receive interest and dividends thereon and negotiate and transfer the securities specified in the schedule to the petition on payment of appropriate succession duty, if it is not paid already.
