Copy of JudgmentView PDF
The District Civil Court in Tenkasi ruled partially in favor of the plaintiffs (Subbulakshmi, Jeyakumari, and Siva), declaring them as the legal heirs of deceased Iyyappan (who died on 03.10.2023) and directing the Tahsildar to issue a legal heirs certificate to them. The court found that only plaintiffs 2-4 are legitimate children of Iyyappan through his second marriage (which occurred while his first wife Sudali was still alive, making it void under Hindu Marriage Act 1955), but under Section 16 of the Hindu Marriage Act (Statutory Legitimacy), they retain full inheritance rights to his self-acquired property. The court rejected the Tahsildar's rejection of their application based on the "two wives" argument. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
