Succession Act, 1925 — Section 205: Limitation of time for application for curator

205. Limitation of time for application for curator. An application under this Part to the District Judge must be made within six months of the death of the proprietor whose property is claimed by right in succession. 206. Bar to enforcement of Part against public settlement or legal directions by deceased. Nothing in this Part shall be deemed to authorise the contravention of any public act of settlement or of any legal directions given by a deceased proprietor of any property for the possession of his property after his decease in the event of minority or otherwise, and, in every such case, as soon as the Judge having jurisdiction over the property of a deceased person is satisfied of the existence of such directions, he shall give effect thereto. 207. Court of Wards to be made curator in case of minors having property subject to its jurisdiction. Nothing in this Part shall be deemed to authorise any disturbance of the possession of a Court of Wards of any property; and in case a minor, or other disqualified person whose property is subject to the Court of Wards, is the party on whose behalf application is made under this Part, the District Judge, if he determines to summon the party in possession and to appoint a curator, shall invest the Court of Wards with the curatorship of the estate pending the proceeding without taking security as aforesaid; and if the minor or other disqualified person, upon the adjudication of the summary proceeding, appears to be entitled to the property, possession shall be delivered to the Court of Wards.
