if I am unable to pay compensation amount are my legal heirs liable
04-Aug-2023 (In Civil Law)
X filed a defamation suit against Y. Judgment is in favour of X for Rs. 1 Lakh. If Y is unable to pay the defamation amount to X, is legal heirs of Y are liable to pay the defamation amount to X
Court will issue a notice to all the legal heirs of the deceased to clear the dues and if no legal heir is volunteering to clear the compensation amount then the court, after publishing a Public Notice in leading newspapers, would auction the property and the proceeds would be set off against the outstanding amount and if any excess money is still left with the court, the same would be distributed equally to all legal heirs, subject to production of Legal heirs' Survivor-ship certificate from revenue authorities or certified family tree and an affidavit from all legal heirs to that effect.
