RAJALINGAN AND 5 OTHERS vs PACHAIYAMMAL Advocate - EXP — 54/2025

Court Decision Summary The Additional District Civil Court of Cuddalore declared that all six plaintiffs (children from two marriages of the deceased Palanisamy) are the legitimate heirs of the deceased, and ordered the revenue department (3rd defendant) to issue a succession certificate recognizing them as such. The court found that while the first defendant (2nd wife) married the deceased while his first wife was still alive, making her an invalid spouse, the children born to both marriages qualify as legal heirs under Hindu succession law.
