Succession Certificate -- Rival Claims -- Status of Legally Wedded Wife -- Summary Proceedings Inappropriate -- Parties to Establish Status in Civil Suit
Where there are rival claims regarding the status of a legally wedded wife and a comprehensive suit for partition is already pending, it is not appropriate for the High Court to decide the status of the parties in summary proceedings -- The parties are required to establish their legal status through evidence in the pending civil suit -- Upon passing of a decree by the civil court, the parties may thereafter approach the appropriate authorities for grant of family pension.
