الشهود في قضية ميراث

Dear questioner,

It is not necessary that you shall present male witnesses only. If they are males, only two are required whereas if the witnesses are females, 4 are required.

The purpose of recording the witness statement is to make sure that the applicant is related to the deceased and all other heirs mentioned in the petition are related to the deceased and no one is excluded while enumerating the heirs before the court.

The witnesses shall be able to testify the relationship of the applicant(s) with the deceased.

It can be any of the deceased friends. or colleagues or neighbors or anyone of any nationality.

Regards,

Rajasree Ravivarma
