THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.10266 of 2000 ORDER: The petitioner challenges the common order, dated 26.07.1999 passed by the Administrator General of A.P., 1st respondent herein, in C.A.Nos.115 of 1984 and 50 of 1990. One Mr. O.V.Subrahmanyam died on 13.03.1984. The petitioner, one Mr. Venkateswara Rao and Veeranjaneyulu, 4th respondent herein, are his brothers. The petitioner filed C.A.No.50 of 1990 for issuance of succession certificate in respect of a sum of Rs.45,344/- left by the deceased under different heads. Venkateswara Rao died, pending the C.A. The 1st respondent passed an order, dated 11.09.1995, recognizing the petitioner and the two brothers of the deceased as legal heirs to receive the amount in equal shares. The wife of the late Subrahmanyam, by name Swarajya Lakshmi, 3rd respondent herein, filed C.A.No.115 of 1984. At her instance, C.A.No.50 of 1990 was reopened, on the ground that her claim was note taken into account. The 1st respondent took up both the applications and dealt with the respective claims. Ultimately, a finding was recorded to the effect that the 3rd respondent is entitled to half and the petitioner and his brothers to the remaining half. Heard Sri V.V.L.N.Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri A.Pulla Reddy, learned counsel for the 3rd respondent. It is rather sad that numerous proceedings came to be initiated in the context of succession to a small amount of about Rs.50,000/-. The petitioner does not dispute that the 3rd respondent was married to late Subrahmanyam. A vague plea was raised that she was divorced. However, nothing was placed before the 1st respondent to substantiate the plea. This is one of the rare cases, where mother-in-law had relinquished her share in favour of her daughter-in-law. Learned counsel for petitioner is not able to point out any jurisdictional error or factual mistake in the order passed by the 1st respondent. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 21.11.2008 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.10266 of 2000 Date: 21.11.2008 JSU
