I think for F.D, We see weather partnership deed on this two person , & also see if any body Nominee for that Dead Person, then only New SB a/c can open as per that Bank F.D. Agreement rules

Dear Sirs,

 

Thanks for your inputs. In the instant case Shiva is having a LoA from court to deal with Ram's properties.

LA from High Court is obtained by SHIVA and not by the Partnership Firm. Since, the FD is in the name of Partnership Firm the LA issued by the High Court shall not suffice.
