Case Summary: 156/2026 Court Decision: The court granted the petition and issued a succession certificate to the petitioners (Pooja Sunil Bhotkar, Trisha Sunil Bhotkar, and Disha Sunil Bhotkar) as legal heirs of the deceased Sunil Namdev Bhotkar, who died on May 20, 2019. Key Reasoning: The court found that the petitioners—comprising one son, two daughters, and the widow—were the sole legal heirs of the deceased. The petitioners adequately proved their relationship through death certificates, identity proofs, and public notices published in newspapers. The court directed the petitioners to pay requisite court fees and stamp duties before obtaining the final succession certificate, as mandated under the Bombay Regulation 1827 and the Indian Succession Act, 1925.
