the Inventory Proceedings which were initially initiated in 1945
on the death of Rosa Joaquina Luis De Souza and subsequently
in the proceedings continued thereafter on the demise of her
husband Emidio Simao Ismael de Souza in 1974. The Cabeca
de Casal had during the pendency of the Inventory Proceedings
executed the Deed of Relinquishment and Gift dated 24.01.1975
renouncing her share in the property of her father Emidio Simao
Ismael de Souza. The Deed of Assignment and Transfer was
executed by Maria Teresa De Souza, sister of the Cabeca de
Casal on 21.10.1976 ceding her right to the estate of her father
in favour of her brother Mario Cornelio Francisco De Souza i.e.
Inventariado. His son Ernesto Agnelo De Souza had executed
the Deed of Assignment on 10.1.1979 in favour of her brother
Fausto De Souza who during his life time sold 2/3rd of his share
by the Deed of Sale dated 25.9.2006 to one Natalina Fernandes.
The other brother Mario had purchased from Natalina by the
Deed of Sale dated 12.10.2006 the 2/3rd share of Fausto De
Souza earlier sold to her and therefore Mario was sole and
exclusive owner of the entire properties. The said Mario had
expired on 16.6.2007 while Fausto had expired on 20.10.2007.
