Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-15-2013

Oral Judgment: (A.S. Oka, J.) Heard learned counsel appearing for the Petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for the Respondents. Rule. The Government Pleader waives service for the Respondents. Considering the narrow controversy involved, this Petition is taken up forthwith for final disposal. 2.

Vasantkumar Maganlal Patel Vs. Ketankumar M. Sharma

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-15-2013

Oral Order: 1. The petitioner has applied for letters of administration with the Will of the deceased annexed thereto. The deceased died on 1st January, 2010. The petitioner had filed an earlier petition of letters of administration with the same will annexed thereto being Petition No.466 of 2010. That petition has been dismissed for non-removal of office objections. The petitioner claims to adjust the fee paid in the former petition in this petition. 2. A petition is much like a suit. The CPC applies much to a suit to a petition or an application. Once the petition is dismissed the Court fee is liable to be forfeited. Court fee payable in a suit would be forfeited when the suit is dismissed. The rule of forfeiture in respect of a petition for probate, therefore, cannot be any different. 3. The petitioner relies upon the specific provision under section 23 of the Bombay Court fee act, 1959 for considering the same fee chargeable in this petition as in the earlier petition. Section 23 r...
