Rodrigues ...Deceased Braz Mathews Rodrigues ...Petitioner _______ Ms. Sneha Vani a/w Ms. Sharda Gawai for the Applicant. _______ CORAM : ARIF S. DOCTOR, J. DATE : 22 nd SEPTEMBER, 2026 P.C. 1. This Interim Application seeks restoration of the captioned Testamentary Petition, which came to be dismissed for non-removal of office objections. 2. Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant and having perused the Interim Application, in my view the Interim Application would have to be allowed. The substantive interest of justice would require the Applicant an opportunity to contest the Testamentary Petition, which is for Letters of Administration with the copy of the last Will and Testament dated 8 th October, 2013 in respect of properties and credits of one Isabela M. Rodrigues. 3. Furthermore, no prejudice can possibly be caused to any party, if this Petition is restored.
