This Court would like to rely upon the judgment of the Apex Court reported in ( 2020) 12 Supreme Court Cases 480 in case of Sameer Kapoor and another V/s State through sub-division Magistrate South, New Delhi and others wherein held that right to get letters of administration is a continuous right which can be exercised at any time so long right survives and discussion was made in paragraph No.14.1 that in a case where a Will has been proved or deposited in a Court of competent jurisdiction situated beyond the limits of the State, whether within or beyond the limits of India, in that case, as provided under Section 228 of the Act, when a properly authenticated copy of the Will is produced, the letters of administration may be granted in favour of such person. Meaning thereby, in such a situation, the Will is not required to be proved again and it shall be conclusive. 13. This Court would also like to rely upon the judgment reported in 2001 (4) Mh.L.J in case of Ramesh Nivrutti V/s Dr.Surendra wherein discussed in paragraph No.7 that the probate granted by competent Court is conclusive on the validity of the Will unless revoked in accordance with law and no evidence can be admitted to impeach it except in the proceedings for revocation. 14. 14. Having considered all these materials on record and undertaking given by the petitioner and also considering the principles laid down in the judgments referred supra, it is appropriate to issue extension of grant of letters of administration with authenticated copy of the Will dated 01.07.2014 in respect of estate of Testator in favour of the 1 st petitioner who is the executor of the Will dated 01.07.2014.
