Arun Narayan Chavhan vs Nil — 395/2025

Case Summary: 395/2025 - Arun Narayan Chavhan Court Decision: The petition is allowed. The court granted Arun Narayan Chavhan a formal certificate recognizing him as the legal heir of his deceased parents, Narayamrao Bhagamrao Chavhan (died 15/08/2002) and Mirabai Narayan Chavhan (died 06/11/2020), under the Bombay Regulation 1827. The court found that Arun is the sole surviving heir, as both parents and his grandmother are deceased, and he has no siblings. Key Reasoning: The court noted that under the 1827 regulation, a legal heir certificate formally acknowledges the petitioner's status but does not confer property rights or material benefits. The court found the petitioner's evidence (death certificates, affidavits, and supporting documents) credible and uncontradicted, establishing him as the legitimate legal heir eligible for government and administrative purposes.
