When can probate be revoked? Supreme Court clarifies rules
Indian Express·4h ago·Neutral
What Happened
The Supreme Court set aside a Madras High Court order restoring probate, ruling the grant was obtained by suppressing material facts and excluding interested parties. The case involved disputed Coimbatore properties where a 1976 unregistered will conflicted with later registered sale deeds. The court emphasized probate cannot be granted without impleading all legal heirs and interested parties who hold registered title to disputed properties.
