A Hindu couple of India settles in UK & becomes UK citizens.2 children are born.One acquires British citizenship while the other comes to India & takes Indian citizenship.Monies are transferred in the couple's NRI Accounts in India by the couple. . The couple die intestate. The child in India wants to obtain Succession Certificate from Indian court in respect of the monies lying in the accounts. The UK child has no objection. Can any court in India grant Succession Certificate in view of Section 5(2) of The Indian Succession Act,1925?

He can proceed.
If the NRI account is having him as nomination, he should apply to RBI for permission to receive money from NRI account.

You have to get the succession certificate in UK only.
