CR 2367 of 2019 (O&M) 3
amended. The trial court rejected both the
applications of the appellants on the ground that
since the probate petition filed by the legatee related
to his personal right, therefore, no right accrued to
the appellants for their substitution in his place. This
view, according to us, is not correct. Matadin
Agarwal, as stated above, was a legatee and not an
executor under the Will. It is true that where an
executor dies, his heirs cannot be substituted
because the executor possessed personal right, but
this not applicable where the heirs of a legatee apply
for issue of letters of administration. It is not disputed
that today the appellants can file a petition for issue
of letter of administration. Since considerable time
has elapsed, we fee that the interest of justice
demands that the proceedings should come to an
end as early as possible and we should not dismiss

this appeal merely on highly technical ground".
More so, a Division Bench view of Calcutta High
Court in Balai Lall Banerjee and others Vs. Debaki Kumar
Ganguly and others 1984 AIR (Calcutta) 16 has held that
proceedings under the Act are not strictly speaking a civil suit
and that proceedings for grant of probate and letter of
administration cannot follow within straightjacket of a suit and
therefore what prejudice is likely to be caused to the opposite
side over such an amendment which is only to rectify the
Section under which the invocation has been made before the
Court.
Mukesh & Anr vs State For Nct Of Delhi & Ors on 5 May, 2017

others, LPA 300 of 1986 decided on 26.04.2014 are not
factually applicable. It is not disputed that the original petitioners
have laid their claim over the estate of the deceased on the
basis of a Will and so is the purpose of grant of letter of
administration though the procedure are bit different and
therefore to the mind of this court none of the claimants be it the
executors or a legatee are likely to have any disadvantage from
such an amendment and rather to establish a legal right of the
parties, the Courts can in appropriate cases mould the final
relief as deem it appropriate in the ends of justice. The plea that
is sought to be raised that a petition for probate cannot not be
converted into one for grant of letter of administration at this
stage could not be convinced by the counsel for the appellant by
any logical and legal reasons. What is the moot point before the
Court is the very legality and enforceability of dispensation
