(ORAL) This revision petition is directed against the order dated 31.7.2005 passed by the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Jagadhri whereby the petitioner-plaintiff's application to implead her as the sole legal heir of Salochana has been disposed of by directing that the petitioner-plaintiff as well as defendant Nos.1 to 8 be impleaded as legal heirs of Salochana Devi for the purpose of partition suit subject to final decision. Notice of motion was issued and in response thereto, learned counsel for the parties have been heard. According to learned counsel for the petitioner-plaintiff, deceased Sulochana was the second wife of Anant Ram and the petitioner- plaintiff and respondents No.6 to 8 were born out of the said wedlock. As regard to defendant Nos.1 to 5, it is stated that they were born out of the first marriage of Anant Ram with Kasturi Devi. It is further contended that C.R. No.4131 of 2007 -2- deceased Sulochana Devi had executed a will during her life-time thereby bequeathing her properties/assets in favour of the petitioner-plaintiff. On this premise, she sought to be impleaded as the sole legal heir of Sulochana Devi. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, this revision petition is disposed of by modifying the impugned order dated 31.7.2007 passed by the learned trial Court to the extent that the impleadment of the petitioner-plaintiff as well as defendants No.1 to 8 as legal heirs of Sulochana Devi as directed by the learned trial Court shall be on provisional basis. The petitioner shall be entitled to claim as sole legal heir of Sulochana Devi on the basis of the alleged will and a specific issue to this effect shall be framed by the learned trial Court. The respondent- defendant on the other hand shall be entitled to oppose the aforesaid claim of the petitioner and obviously, the controversy shall be decided by the learned trial Court on the basis of evidence to be led by them. With these directions, the revision petition is disposed of. March 11, 2008 ( SURYA KANT ) poonam JUDGE
