Application filed under Order XIV Rule 8 of Original Side Rules r/w Section 263 of Indian Succession Act to revoke the grant of Letters of Administration dated 05th October 2021 granted in favour of the petitioners on the ground suppression of facts in O.P.No.650 of 2020.

For Applicant(s): Mr.M.Ramesh For Respondent(s): Mr.Aloysicus Raja Pragash O R D E R This application has been filed by the applicant to revoke the grant of Letters of Administration granted in favour of the petitioners in the main petition through order dated 05.10.2021.

2. According to the applicant, he is the 3^rd party to the main original petition and the respondents 1 to 5 filed the Main Original Petition for grant of Letters of Administration in respect of the property of the deceased J.Paulraj. The deceased Paulraj executed a Will dated 26.04.2017 declaring the properties in favour of the applicant and also in the name of his father, namely, S.V.Krishnamoorthy, Jothi and Uncle’s daughter, viz., R.Lucy. The main Original Petition was filed by the respondents 1 to 5 herein claiming that they are the legal heirs of the deceased J.Paulraj. In the meantime, the said Jothi, filed a petition for Probate the Will before the District Court, Nagapattinam and the same is pending. Now only the applicant came to know about the Letters of Administration granted to the respondents 1 to 5 in the main petition through order dated 05.10.2021, therefore, by suppressing the said Will, the respondents 1 to 5 have obtained the order, thereby the said Order dated

05.10.2021 granting Letters of Administration, has to be revoked.

3. The respondents filed counter stating that the assets described in the petition belongs to Paulraj S/o Jeyaraj. The deceased Jayasingh is the own brother of the said Paulraj. The said Paulraj married one Parvathi and they had no issues. The said Paulraj died on 12.09.2017 leaving behind brothers, viz., Jeyasingh, Rajasingh, and sister Rajathi Leela and the said Parvathi died on 15.05.2016. The said Rajasingh died on 17.11.2009 and the legal heirs of deceased Rajasingh are Margert Stella Bai, R.Lucy, R.Sophy. The legal heirs of the deceased Paulraj have filed the main Original Petition for grant of Letter of Administration. This Court also granted Letters of Administration in favour of the petitioners in the main original Petition. While so, the applicant, Jothi and the said Veerakumar have fraudulently created a Will and these respondents are well aware that the deceased Paulraj never executed any Will in favour of anyone during his life time. After fabricating the Will, the applicants have initiated probate proceedings with the delay of six years.

4.1. The applicant, viz., Veerakumar is none other than the reared sister’s son of Parvathi wife of Paulraj and the said deceased Paulraj never executed any Will. The averments that the said Parvathi provided education to the reared Jothi’s brother’s son, Veerakumar education are all false. The mortgaged loan secured with HDFC Bank, Tiruvarur District has already been settled with these respondents by paying Rs.19,75,000/- on 26.05.2023 and the loan was discharged by the bank through the receipt dated 26.05.2023.
