The humble petition of the petitioner above-named

Most Respectfully Sheweth:

1. The opposite party filed an application for grant of Succession Certificate in Case No. 5 of 1999. The opposite party obtained a Succession Certificate in respect of the debts of the deceased Mr. Z on 5th May 2000.

2. Your petitioner is the widow of the deceased. As the nearest relation your petitioner was entitled to obtain the Succession Certificate for recovering the debts of the deceased.

3. That the opposite party is a step-son of the petitioner. He knew the petitioner being the nearest relation is entitled to be served with the notice of such application. However, the opposite party fraudulently suppressed the name of the petitioner in the application and consequently no notice was issued to the petitioner by the Learned Court and the Succession Certificate was issued without hearing the petitioner.

By reasons of the aforesaid, it is humbly prayed that the Succession Certificate granted to the opposite party be revoked and further and consequential orders be passed as to this Learned Court may deem fit and proper.
