THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.2725 of 1998 DATE:16.09.2009 Between: Sahebzadi Yousufunnisa Begum and another … Appellants And Shah Jahan Begum (died per L.Rs) and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.2725 of 1998 ORDER: The deceased-1st respondent filed O.P.265 of 1993 before the court of the II Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, under Section 372 of the Indian Succession Act. It was for the purpose of enabling her to obtain a succession certificate in respect of the estate of late Rasheed Jung Bahadur, and to collect a sum of Rs.1,32,500/- with accrued interest i.e. 50% of the amount lying with respondents 17 to 19 herein. The 1st respondent stated that she is the sister of late Rasheed Jung Bahadur and all his wives pre-deceased him. The appellants herein were arrayed as respondents 9 and 10. In the O.P., it was mentioned that respondents 1 to 12 therein are entitled to the balance of 50% share. Through its order, dated 17.01.1997, the trial court decreed the O.P., as prayed for. Hence this appeal. Learned counsel for the appellants and the learned counsel for the contesting respondents advanced several contentions, touching on the merits of the matter. This Court would have certainly dealt with the contentions advanced on behalf of the parties. However, the necessity thereof is obviated, on account of an important factor. The trial court decreed the O.P. in January, 1997 and the appeal was presented only on 26.08.1997. In the meantime, the petitioner in O.P., i.e. Shahjahan Begum, died. Further, for the past about 12 years, no order of stay is in force. The result is that the amount has been either withdrawn or has passed on to various individuals, in accordance with law. Nothing remains to be decided in this C.M.A. Hence, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J 16th September, 2009 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY C.M.A.No.2725 of 1998 16th September, 2009 CBS
