Section 301-Whether gross delay committed by respondents 1 and 2 legatees of all properties given by will in collecting grant is sufficient for their removal as administrators of estate of deceased.

       Held-Respondents 1 and 2 viz "Z" and "E" arc the only legatees of all properties given by the Will in respect of which the letters of Administration have been sought and obtained. Any delay on their part cannot be reason for bringing in some other administrator in their place They are the best persons to administer the properties which are to go to them alone and no one has better rights of administration of properly covered by Will than these two legatees. Therefore, delay on part of administrators to collect grant is not sufficient for their removal.
