Duplicate share certificate of cooperative housing society

In our society there is a flat owner who passed away - without will or nominee.  One of the family members approached the society for issue of duplicate share certificate - fulfilling all conditions for issue of duplicate share certificate - Form 1, advertisement in 2 newspapers, police FIR, Affidavit on Rs.500/- stamp paper, etc.

The person applying for the duplicate share certificate, will be using the duplicate share certificate to apply for hiership in his name in  the appropriate court 

Can the society MC give the duplicate share certificate in the name of the deceased person to the applicant.

He must show some prima facie proof to apply for certificate, you can ask for publishing in local news paper and affidavit to that extent.

 A housing society can issue a duplicate share certificate to a legal heir or nominee of a deceased owner if they request it, provided they can prove their rightful claim to the property by submitting necessary documents like a death certificate and succession certificate;
