The Honourable Court noted in the case Mumtaz Bibi & others VERSUS Public at Large & others (C.R. No.471 of 2019) Lahore, has stated in para 10 that: there are three classes of heirs namely 1. Sharers, 2. Residuaries, and 3. Distant Kindred. “Sharers” are those who are entitled to a prescribed share, of the inheritance; “Residuaries” are those who take no prescribed share, but succeed to the “residue” after the claims of the sharers are satisfied; and “Distant Kindred” are all those relations by blood who are neither Sharers nor Residuaries.
