In our previous article we have seen what Legal Heirship Certificate is and who can obtain the same. In this article we will see the provision for revocation of the Legal Heirship Certificate.

Legal Heirship Certificate issued under regulation can be revoked on the causes mentioned in Section 383 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, which are as under:

• That the proceedings to obtain the certificate were defective in substance
• That the certificate was obtained fraudulently by the making of a false suggestion, or by the concealment from the court of something material to the case
• That the certificate was obtained by means of an untrue allegation of a fact essential in point of law to justify the grant thereof, though such allegation was made in ignorance or inadvertently
• That the certificate has become useless and inoperative through circumstances
• That a decree or order made by a competent court in a suit or other proceedings with respect to effects comprising debts or securities specified in the certificate renders it proper that the certificate should be revoked.
