When succession certificate is issued in respect of any property of the deceased, the process has been prescribed to take care of the following claims, which can only be decided by a court: (a) Will in favour of anyone other than the Successors; (b) Pending taxes to the Government and local authority, which need to be recovered from the Estate of the deceased; (c) Any liabilities of the deceased to be recovered from his estate; (d) Person other than the Applicant(s) claiming to be a successor. more

WHAT IS THE GOVT' GOING TO DO FOR 12YRS. SUFFERING OF THE PEOPLE OF SRIRANGAM FOR THEIR RESIDENTIAL GROUND & THE FORWARD CASTE. MERELY COMMENTING ON IT WITHOUT SENDING THE MESSAGES TO MODIJI WILL NOT WORK OUT.EVEN THE MUSLIMS & CHRISTIANS ARE GIVEN % FOR THEIR LIVING NEEDS FROM YOUNG TO OLD.THE MUSLIMS ARE BETTER TREATED THAN US IN BRINGING RULES ACCORDING TO THEIR CASTE RULES. THEY CAN JUST SAY ' TALAK ' FOR DIVORCE. THE RULES FOR BUYING & SELLING PROPERTY FOR MUSLIMS ARE DIFFERENT FROM OTHER CITIZEN'S OF INDIA.WHY SUCH DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE CITIZENS? GENERAL RULES THAT IS BASIC NEEDS & LIVING SHOULD BE EQUAL TO ALL THE CITIZENS. LET US HOPE FOR THE BEST TO BE A NON-DIFFERENTIAL INDIAN CITIZENS.
