1. The petition pending before the court gets abated.

2) Can the Family Court will decide about the possession of the flat, which is on husband name and also about the Pension the wife is entitled to get legally.

3)Husband had filed the divorce case in Nagpur and wife is staying at Pune. But before the decision of the divorce petition husband died then is it possible for the wife to file a separate petition at Pune?

4)It has also been found that the term deposit receipt which is in the name of husband and wife is prematurely withdrawn by the husband without consent of the wife than to claim that amout what will be the legal procedure?

in case the husband has signed a will than all the above answers go for a toss and the will would subsist as per the terms mentioned in it :-)

If the husband is acquired property as self and if there is a will by husband, then alone it goes as per the will.  Otherwise the wife will get proper share as per succession act

1.  first of all you have to file a petition with the death certificate to the court to dismiss the case 

2.  as already he had taken the amount from the bank now you have to fight with the bank if it is a joint account and what are the rules for premature withdrawal of the term deposit has to be seen from the concerned bank, without that rules cannot give correct answer

3. if there is no will and you are the only legal heir then you have to file in the local civil court to get succession certificate

4. if there is a will first get the copy and see if your name is not there then go for succession certificate

whether  wife is named in PPO
