In lower Court, Probate authorisation was given to the Executors for the Will of a mother.
It was appealed in the High Court and a divisional bench (2 Judges) first stayed the lower court order and then after full appeal hearing over 7 years,the HC overturned the verdict of the lower court. And declared the Will null n void as was very suspicious in nature and and with incorrect contents.
(one asset shown in Will as "life interest asset' when in fact "absolute ownership" asset and another asset "missing" in the Will).This among various other things very clearly brought out in the Judgement.
Executors have gone to the Supreme Court with a SLP (Civil) which still not come up for hearing.
In the meantime the person who went to the High Court has died but two of the other heirs have challenged the SLP.
Is this in order or faulty unless the widow of the HC complainant joins in (she is too poor to do so).
In the light of advanced age of the litigants is there any way to get this matter expedited.
