we have applied for fresh Legal heirship certificate as the old one of my expired father was in 1988, and in between my sister(5 years back) and my mother(last year) expired. We have enclosed death certificates of the both. This is to divide a small property located in Vellore TN legally between three brothers and 1 sister. But the concerned dept is delaying on one pretext or the other. Receipt for inspection was dtd. 4th Jan 24. Couple of days back some officials called to their office, to come to their office. When reached they come to the site. After waiting, they asked irrelevant questions to the neighbours.
We understand that they are expecting bribe from us for this processing delay since my mother died on Apr 23.
How to proceed further?
The official will make enquiries in the local in order to ascertain the facts stated by you in the application, hence this is routine.
If there's an abnormal delay then you can approach the Tahsildar.
