OD-11 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Testamentary and Intestate Jurisdiction ORIGINAL SIDE PLA/360/2025 IN THE GOODS OF: ASWINI KUMAR GHOSH, DECEASED BEFORE: The Hon'ble JUSTICE PARTHA SARATHI CHATTERJEE Date : 13th October, 2026 Appearance: Mr. Ranjit Kumar Basu, Adv. …for the petitioner The Court: This application has been presented praying for grant of probate of the last Will and Testament dated 14th July, 2004 of the testator, namely, Aswini Kumar Ghosh (since deceased). Mr. Basu, learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner, submits that the legal heirs left behind by the testator, particulars of whom are detailed in paragraph 6 of the present petition, have, by filing separate affidavits, expressed their ‘No Objection’ to the grant of probate of the Will. He further submits that the petitioner has complied with all requisite formalities and that the attesting witness has, by filing an affidavit, proved the execution and attestation of the Will. In the aforesaid circumstances, he prays for the grant of probate. Heard learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner and perused the materials on record, including the copy of the Will, the death certificate of the testator and the affidavit of the attesting witness. 2 In the application, the petitioner has averred that the document in question is the last Will and Testament of the testator and has disclosed the date of execution of the Will. The petitioner has also stated that the testator had a fixed place of abode at the time of his death within the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. The Affidavit of Assets specifies the value of the property likely to come to the hands of the petitioner upon the grant of probate. The legal heirs have, by filing separate affidavits, expressed their ‘No Objection’ to the grant of probate. The attesting witness has, in his affidavit, specifically deposed that he had seen the testator affix his signature to the Will and that the testator had, in turn, seen the witness affix his signature thereto. He has further deposed that the testator was in a sound and disposing state of mind at the time of execution of the Will. The petitioner has, therefore, complied with the requisite formalities prescribed under Section 276 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, and duly proved the execution and attestation of the Will. Accordingly, there appears to be no impediment to the grant of probate. In view thereof, the application is allowed. Let probate of the last Will and Testament of Suresh Chandra (since deceased) be granted upon completion of all requisite formalities and payment of the requisite ad valorem court fees, if not already paid. PLA/360/2025 is thus disposed of. (PARTHA SARATHI CHATTERJEE, J.) S.Bag
