Section 372 Indian Succession Act | No Security Bond Mandatory for Succession Certificate When All Heirs Consent : Allahabad HC
Allahabad High Court rules that courts cannot impose security bonds for succession certificates under Section 372 of the Indian Succession Act when all legal heirs consent and no third-party claims exist. The judgment reinforces judicial discretion to waive security requirements, directing issuance of the certificate within eight weeks on a personal bond alone, benefiting uncontested inheritance cases.
