N.SATHISH KUMAR, J.

This Original Petition has been filed under Section 372 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 read with Order XXV Rule 6 of the Madras High Court Original Side Rules, to grant succession certificate in favour of the petitioners with power to collect the securities and to receive dividends, negotiate and transfer the securities specified in the schedule. 2.Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. 3.The petitioners are the legal heirs of one J.Balasubramaniam, who died on 14.04.2020. The parents of the deceased pre-deceased him long back. Hence, the petitioners seek succession certificate in their favour. 4.For issuance of succession certificate in respect of the assets left by the deceased, the first petitioner examined herself as P.W.1 and marked Exs-P.1 to P.6.

5.P.W.1 in her evidence had narrated the averments made in the petition stating that the petitioners have filed this petition for grant of Succession Certificate in their favour. To prove the death of the deceased, ExP.1 is marked. Ex-P.2 is the legal heir certificate of the deceased; Exs-P.3, P.4 and P.5 are filed to show the assets left by the deceased; Ex-P.6 is the paper publication and none have objected for it.

6.Considering the averments made in the Original Petition and the documents filed by the petitioners, I am satisfied that the petitioners, being Class-I legal heirs, have succeeded the Estate of the deceased J.Balasubramanian. Therefore, the Original Petition is ordered as prayed for and a direction for grant of Succession Certificate in favour of the petitioners with power to collect the securities and to receive dividends, negotiate and transfer the securities specified in the schedule, is issued. 22.11.2023 TK
