widow will not get exemption from payment of court fees in case of succession certificate
In the case of Shri Bipin Dalpatbhai Shah Vs. Vasantben Rasilal Zaveri, 2001(4) ALL MR 1 Bombay, Justice J.A. Patel, as he then was, held that property disputes with regard to matrimonial matters required waiver/exemption of court fee by female litigants. Monies payable to the legal heirs of the deceased husband on account of his death for which a succession certificate would have been applied for would be covered by the term "property disputes" and would, therefore, fall within the purview of the notification for the waiver of Court fee. That would also be only to the extent of benefit received by such heir in the estate of the deceased. This is upon the observation that the amounts required upon the death of the deceased payable to the deceased were "really required for the maintenance of the Petitioner as well as three children".
