    Case Summary: MPT/605/2026 Court Decision: The Bombay High Court granted Merline Selvaraj's petition and issued a Legal Heirship Certificate recognizing her, along with her two daughters (Jenefa and Jebesty Selvaraj), as the sole legal heirs of the deceased T. Selvaraj. The court condoned the delay in filing and dispensed with proclamation requirements. Key Reasoning: The court held that the right to apply for a heirship certificate is a continuous right exercisable at any time after the deceased's death, not barred by the three-year limitation period under the Limitation Act 1963. Since the application seeks court recognition of heir status and the deceased died intestate with no other legal heirs, the petition was allowed without impediment. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
