Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's decision to revoke the probate of a will, confirming that the respondents, as grandchildren of the testator, had a caveatable interest in the estate despite the appellant's claims. The Court emphasized that even a slight interest in the estate allows a party to contest the grant of probate. The Court directed that the respondents be made parties in the probate proceedings, which should be expedited within four months.
