1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.4540 OF 2010 Sau. Sushila Pradip Wani ..Petitioner V/s Sau.Pushpa Gulabchand Jain ..Respondent ......... Mr.Mukul Kulkarni, advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Dhananjay Deshpande, advocate for the respondent. ........ (CORAM : V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) DATE : 30th June, 2010. PER COURT : 1. Heard learned counsel. 2. The petitioner challenges the order dated 24th February, 2010 rendered by the District Court in Civil Appeal No. 136/2008. The petitioner is the daughter of deceased Indirabai Jain. The respondent is her elder sister. Indirabai Jain was residing with the petitioner and allegedly had kept various deposits, cash amount etc as shown in Schedule `A’ to the application. She had nominated the petitioner to receive the amounts from the Bank etc. The respondent filed application for succession certificate under Section 372 of the Indian Succession Act after the death of Indirabai Jain. The learned Civil Judge (S.D.), rejected her 2 application. The first appellate Court, however granted the application holding that she is entitled to inherit the movables and cash amount etc left by Indirabai to the extent of half share and that the petitioner is entitled to half share not withstanding the fact that the latter is the nominee of Indirabai. 3. It is well settled that the nomination made by person does not change law of succession. The nomination is only for the purpose of making arrangement for immediate release of the amount to named person by Bank/L.I.C. or other Agencies. It is explicit that nomination does not deprive another/other successor/s from their right to inherit the legal share in the property of the deceased. In this view of the matter, the directions of the first appellate Court that the succession certificate be issued showing each of them daughters of deceased Indirabai Jain as entitled to half of the share is legal and proper. No interference is called for. Dismissed. (V.R.KINGAONKAR) JUDGE gas/wp4540.10
