Section 371 of the Succession Act 1925 determines the jurisdiction

By
When a person dies his/her succession opens up. The legal heirs of the deceased can claim their rights over the legacy of deceased only once they are declared as successors or legal heirs through the court.

In such circumstances the legal heirs have to file a suit in the court of senior civil judge. According to section 371 of the Succession Act 1925 the jurisdiction in succession matter is of the court where property is situated at the time of death of person.

However another aspect the same provision of law is that if part of the property is situated in a district then the jurisdiction lies there also.

The point is that the case of succession can be filed at any destination where property of part of property of deceased exists. That means all the property situated in different jurisdictions can be distributed through a single case filed at any place where one or more of the properties are located.

Rule that no limitation ran against a void order was not an inflexible rule --- Party could not sleep over to challenge a void order and it was bound to challenge the same within the stipulated/Prescribed time period of limitation from the date of knowledge before the proper forum in appropriate proceedings --- Appeal filed before the Appellate Tribunal was admittedly time-barred, and was rightly dismissed as being hit by limitation and no sufficient cause for condonation of delay was found --- High Court agreed with the order of Appellate Tribunal --- Supreme Court had affirmed concurrent findings recorded by fora below --- Review petition was dismissed in circumstances.

Divorce is not possible during pregnancy

By
A Muslim woman cannot be divorced during pregnancy. If a husband pronounces divorce to his wife during pregnancy, it is immaterial till delivery. However, if after delivery of child, it is not reconciled within 90 days, it becomes divorce. The reason is that the Iddah of a Muslim woman is 90 days after pronouncement of divorce by the husband. If divorce is pronounced to a Muslim wife during pregnancy, it becomes effective automatically after the end of pregnancy. The iddat of such lady starts from that day and if the divorce is not revoked in such time period of 90 days, then it becomes complete divorce. Once a women completes her Iddat after divorce, it means the divorce is final and irrevocable between parties. For  more , you can consult omara.khan789@gmail.com or call +923123450006
