§386Validation of certain payments made in good faith to holder of invalid certificate

Where a certificate under this Part has been superseded or is invalid by reason of the certificate having been revoked under section 383, or by reason of the grant of a certificate to a person named in an appellate order under section 384, or by reason of a certificate having been previously granted, or for any other cause, all payments made or dealings had, as regards debts and securities specified in the superseded or invalid certificate, to or with the holder of that certificate in ignorance of its supersession or invalidity, shall be held good against claims under any other certificate.

Official India Code text: The Indian Succession Act, 1925, English PDF (bitstream 123456789/19051/1/indian_succession_act_1925.pdf, 694,325 bytes, sha256 07fb374ab81026e8...) fetched directly from indiacode.nic.in (Akamai edge, DNS via dns.google) on 2026-08-03. This PDF brackets its footnotes with drawn rules and renders superscript markers inline ("1*50. General principles…"), both of which are handled at ingest (D-062). Section 52 is absent because this edition does not print it — its own footnote records sections 50 to 56 being substituted by Act 17 of 1939. Extracted via pdftotext 26.07 -bbox and the @nexlex/ingest inline parser. Automated parse; footnotes and amendment history excluded. Spot-verified against the PDF; full clause-level proofread pending.
