The executor is the sole legatee under the alleged Will. The executor is a son of the testator and the brother of the would-be objectors. The executor claims that the sisters have also objected to the grant in respect of the father's Will. According to the executor, the father's Will provided for his widow and his son to be the only major legatees. The two sisters have challenged the authenticity of the Will and the testamentary suit is pending. The executor, who is also the propounder of the father's Will for which letters of administration with Will have been sought since no executor was named, has been examined in the suit pertaining to the father's Will.

According to the executor, the mother died during the pendency of the challenge to the father's Will and the mother has bequeathed her entire estate to her son. The executor claims that the objections that have been filed or are proposed to be filed are only for the purpose of delaying matters and to spite the executor herein. The executor submits that it is inconceivable that the sisters would have fought with the mother in Court and the mother would have left her estate or any part thereof to such daughters.
