Sir,
The query is ambiguous, please clarify your position with relation to the owner. Are you his relative? Why do you need a Probate if you have already purchased the house?
Good luck,

Sir, i HV myself the purchaser of the house the agreement has been done before registry the seller die with the will as he was almost 75yrs +
And health condition was not good at the time of agreement,

So from high court the probate has been done

But still one of the lawyer suggest to pay stamp duty as per supreme court order and he has also given me the judgement which I HV mentioned for reference.

So I want your opinion , whether stamp duty is required after probate or not and on which ground.
Is the mentioned judgement of supreme court impact
