Probate Shall Be Granted Only To An Executor Appointed By The Will: Gujarat High Court Case Title: Mahendra Harilal Parekh vs Meenaben Hirenbhai Parekh Citation: 2022 LiveLaw (Guj) 94 The Bench comprising Justice Ashokkumar Joshi of the Gujarat High Court has been hearing an Article 227 petition challenging the order of the Trial Judge pertaining to an application under Order 6 Rule 17 of CPC. The brief facts of the case were that the deceased mother of the Petitioners/Appellants was the owner of certain movable and immovable properties and had executed a will in 2013 in favour of the Petitioners/Appellants. Subsequent to the death of the mother, the Petitioners became owners of the properties and preferred an application seeking the probate of the will while the Trial Judge invited objections against the application. The Respondent therein filed an objection against the issuance of probate in favour of the Petitioners. The Petitioners therefore preferred the application in question in 2016 seeking amendment of probate application praying for the replacement of the word Probate by Letter of Administration. This application was rejected and hence the petition was filed. 2.

The Bench comprising Justice AP Thaker observed, "So far as the suit based on agreement to sell for specific performance of contract, even if that agreement to sell is not registered, same can be considered for collateral purpose... If there is contract of agreement to sell and the same is not refused by the defendant and further when legal notice has been issued to the defendant for purpose of that contract, if no injunction is granted in favour of the plaintiff, then, there might be multiplicity of litigation in case defendant transfers the property during the pendency of the litigation." 4. Registration Of FIR By Itself Can't Have Any Nexus With Breach Of Maintenance Of Public Order: Gujarat High Court Case title - Mohsinkhan Muso Murajkhan v. Directorate General Of Police Citation: 2022 LiveLaw (Guj) 97 Quashing a detention order passed u/s 3 (2) of the Prevention of Illicit Trafficking in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1988 [PITNDPS Act], the Gujarat High Court on Tuesday observed that simpliciter registration of FIR by itself cannot have any nexus with the breach of maintenance of public order.
