Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Madras High Court's decision to revoke the probate of a will, affirming that the respondents, being the 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 person to file a caveat and contest the probate. The Court directed that the respondents be made parties to the probate proceedings, which should be expedited within four months.
