Smt Rani and Others vs Anamika Pal and Others — 79/2025

Summary The District Judge approved a petition under Section 372 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, granting succession certificates for a deceased's life insurance policy amount of ₹5,00,000. The court held that mere nomination in an insurance policy does not confer beneficial interest; rather, the amount is inherited by legal heirs according to succession law. The court ordered 3/4 of the amount to applicant Smt. Rani and 1/4 to applicant Ravi Pal, with the minor's share to be invested in a high-interest bank scheme until maturity.
