The Court:- This is an application for grant of Probate of the last Will and Testament of the deceased, namely, Ram Pravesh Agarwal. The Testator, namely, Ram Pravesh Agarwal had last place of abode at 2nd FR, FL-2A,2/2C Burdwan Road, Alipore, Kolkata-700027. He breathed his last on 05.03.2019. Prior to his death, he executed his last Will and Testament dated 18.10.2018 appointing his son as Executor. On death of the Testator, the instant petition was filed by the Executor praying for grant of Probate. Citations were issued by way of publications but no caveat had been lodged, as a result of which the proceeding became non-contentious cause.
2 Both the attesting witnesses and the Executor examined themselves as witnesses. Both the attesting witnesses identified the signature of the Testator as well as the signatures of each other. It was also stated by the witness that the Testator was physically fit and mentally alert at the time of execution of the Will. Signatures were put on the Will in presence of each other.
The Death Certificate was produced and marked.
On appreciation of unchallenged testimony, this Court comes to the conclusion that the Petitioner has established his case that the Will was duly executed by the Testator in terms of Section 63 of the Indian Succession Act,
1925. Let Probate be granted. Inventory and accounts shall be filed within statutory period from the date of issuing of probate. The instant application stands disposed of.
