Harish Brijmohan Loyalka and Another Vs. Dileep Balkrishna Nevatia

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Feb-05-2015

Oral Judgment:1. Mr. Nevatia, the Defendant is the Applicant in this Notice of Motion. He appears pro se. His Notice of Motion is, in my view, thoroughly misconceived. It seeks the dismissal of the suit. This is a contested testamentary suit for probate of a Will allegedly dated 17th June 2009 of the Defendants mother, one Snehalata Nevatia (Snehalata). I use the word allegedly not because there is any as yet any factual or legal point in favour of Mr. Nevatia, but only because this matter is yet to reach final hearing and to be decided.2. It is not in dispute that probate is sought not in respect of the original testamentary writing but a copy. That is the position as it obtains today. Mr. Nevatia points out that the Petition as originally filed did not make any reference to a copy of the will. The Petition said only that the Will had been handed in separately for being filed and kept in safe custody with the Prothonotary and Senior Master of this Court. The Petition was filed on 23rd...
