    The District Civil Court in Shencottai allowed the petition and declared that all four plaintiffs (Vempuammal, Mariammal, Vadivel Murugan, and Kaliyammal) are the legal heirs of deceased Muthaiah (died 20.10.1997), directing the Tahsildhar to issue a legal heirs certificate. The court found that the Tahsildhar's rejection of the heirs certificate application—based on the pretext of the deceased having two wives—was unjustified, as evidence proved the first wife died in 1982 and the second marriage in 1987 was legally valid, making all four plaintiffs legitimate heirs under Hindu succession law.
