The petitioners filed O.S.No.34 of 2009 in the Court of IV Additional Chief Judge, Krishna at Machilipatnam against the wife and children of late Samba Siva Raju for enforcement of their rights under the will. The petitioners contend that their brother left fixed deposits and other immovable properties with respondents 1 to 7 and on account of the non-availability of proper particulars, they are unable to seek necessary relief in the suit. In this writ petition, the petitioners seek a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not providing the particulars.
