A misc. petition for grant of heirship certificate was filed under bombay regulation 8 of 1827 as the said ceritificate was required for transferring a pitchholder card to the Petitioner's name. The pitchholder card stood in name of father of the Petitioner who died intestate leaving behind petitioner (daughter) and his grand daughter (daughter of son) as his legal heirs. The grand daughter in 2005 fled with a boy and her whereabouts were not known to the petitioner and she had not filed any police complaint in this regard. After filing of petition proclamation was issued even paper publication was made but the grand daughter didn't appear in court. Now order has been passed stating that heirship certificate be granted in name of the Petitioner as well as the grand daughter. The Petitioner don't want the name of the grand daughter in said certificate. Thus, what can be done? The petition was filed in Hon'ble High Court. The Petitioner is of the view that the said grand daughter might never appear in future and after transferring the pitch holder card to joint names, it might create hurdle in getting actual possession of the said pitch and/or selling the said pitch.
