Sethi was<br \/>\none of the executors named in the &#8216;Will&#8217; and was only<br \/>\nimp leaded as a proforma respondent and no relief was<br \/>\nclaimed against him. The petitioners are also the named<br \/>\nexecutors of the &#8216;Will&#8217;. Since there was no opposition<br \/>\nto the petition, evidence was taken by way of affidavits.<br \/>\nPetitioner No. 2, Shri Pramod Ahuja, Shri Sewa Singh and<br \/>\nShri Bul Chand Vishain Dass Navin, attesting witnesses of<br \/>\nthe &#8216;Will&#8217; have filed their respective affidavits by way<br \/>\nof evidence.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">4. Shri Pramod Ahuja has testified that he had been<br \/>\nassociated with the testatrix for the last more than 25<br \/>\nyears. The deceased, being the devotee of Satsang, had<br \/>\nexecuted the &#8216;Will&#8217; dated 5th January, 1991 in the<br \/>\npresence of one Shri S.L. Sondhi, the then Secretary of<br \/>\nthe Satsang and the &#8216;Will&#8217; was witnessed by Shri Bul<br \/>\nChand Vishain Dass Navin as well as Shri Sewa Singh, who<br \/>\nis the present Secretary of the Satsang. The deponent,<br \/>\nbeing acquainted with the signatures of the deceased,<br \/>\nidentified her handwriting and that of the attesting<br \/>\nwitnesses Shri Sewa Singh and Shri Bul Chand Vishain Dass<br \/>\nNavin. The original &#8216;Will&#8217; has been proved as Exhibit<br \/>\nP-1. Shri Pramod Ahuja has also proved the identity card<br \/>\nof the deceased issued by the Election Commission as<br \/>\nExhibit PW-1\/1. He also proved the deceased&#8217;s PAN Card<br \/>\nas Exhibit PW-1\/2.

The Death Certificate of<br \/>\nthe testatric in Gurmukhi is Exhibit PW-1\/4, whereas<br \/>\nEnglish Translation has been proved as Exhibit PW-1\/5.<br \/>\nShe had died at Amritsar as the generally stayed at B-31,<br \/>\nDera Baba Jaimal Singh, Radha Soami Satsang Beas,<br \/>\nDistrict Amritsar being a devotee. The testatrix had<br \/>\nmoveable assets, as detailed in Schedule-II attached to<br \/>\nthe affidavit and has been proved as Exhibit PW-1\/6.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">5. To the same effect are the affidavits of Shri<br \/>\nSewa Singh and Shri Bul Chand Vishain Dass Navin. Both<br \/>\nof them were attesting witnesses to the &#8216;Will&#8217;. They<br \/>\nhave testified that on 5th January, 1991, the testatrix<br \/>\nhad signed the &#8216;Will&#8217; in their presence and in the<br \/>\npresence of Shri S.L. Sondhi (since died). They have also<br \/>\ndeposed that they had also signed the &#8216;Will&#8217; as attesting<br \/>\nwitnesses Along with Shri S.L. Sondhi in the presence of<br \/>\nthe testatrix and the testatrix had signed in their<br \/>\npresence. They have also deposed that at the time of<br \/>\nexecution of the &#8216;Will&#8217;, the testatrix was in a sound<br \/>\ndisposing state of mind and she was in perfect health.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">6. In view of the averments made in the petition and<br \/>\nthe deposition by way of affidavits of the witnesses, it<br \/>\nis abundantly clear that there was no opposition to the<br \/>\npetition. The averments made in the petition stand<br \/>\nproved by virtue of the deposition. In view of the<br \/>\ndeposition of the witnesses, I am satisfied that at the<br \/>\ntime of execution of the &#8216;Will&#8217;, the testatrix Smt.<br \/>\nD.A. Shahani was of sound disposing mind and had executed<br \/>\nthe &#8216;Will&#8217; in the presence of the attesting witnesses and<br \/>\nthe attesting witnesses had signed the same in the<br \/>\npresence of the testatrix. Both the petitioners are<br \/>\nnamed executors in the &#8216;Will&#8217; and as such there is no bar<br \/>\nin grant of probate in their favor.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">7. In view of my above discussion, I find that the<br \/>\npetition stands proved. The same is accordingly allowed.<br \/>\nThe probate of the &#8216;Will&#8217; is granted in favor of the<br \/>\npetitioners with regard to the properties mentioned in<br \/>\nthe &#8216;Will&#8217; including the moveable properties shown in<br \/>\nSchedule-II (Exhibit PW-1\/6), subject to the petitioners<br \/>\nfurnishing administration bond of the requisite value.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">8. With these observations, the petition stands<br \/>\ndisposed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court Mr. Madan Mehta And Anr. vs State And Anr. on 2 August, 2002 Author: S Aggarwal Bench: S Aggarwal JUDGMENT Sharda Aggarwal, J. 1.
