On Jan 6, a meeting of the Sindh cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah had approved the law.
Under the new legislation, heirs of a deceased will seek a succession certificate from the National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) instead of taking the matter to a court. The bill will be introduced in the assembly for approval.
