P. Sen with Ms. Ferzana Behramkamdin with Ms. Shivani Khanna i/b. FZB & Associates for Appellant. Mr. D. H. Mehta with Gada Preeti i/b. Mr. Sudhir Shah & Associates for Respondent. CORAM : DR. D. Y. CHANDRACHUD & ANOOP V. MOHTA, JJ. 21 February 2011. P.C. : The order of the learned Single Judge has been passed on a Motion for the dismissal of a Caveat. The Petition for Letters of Administration was filed on 9 November 1995, the deceased having died on 3 December 1977. Caveat was lodged on 25 January 1996. The Motion for dismissal of the Caveat was filed on 29 October 2009. The Petition for the grant of Letters of Administration has been converted into a suit upon contest. The learned Chandka 2 APP-961-10 Single Judge was justified in coming to the conclusion that there was a gross delay of nearly 14 years in filing the Motion for dismissal of the Caveat. However, having regard to all the facts and circumstances the trial of the suit has been expedited since the Petition is of 1995. We do not find any reason to entertain the Appeal. The Appeal is accordingly dismissed. (Dr. D. Y. Chandrachud, J.) (Anoop V. Mohta, J.)
