IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA C.R. No.1144 of 2008 RANJAN KUMAR SINHA @ RANJAN KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3 15/9/2008 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. While this Court does not find any jurisdictional error in the impugned order allowing impleadment of the State in the probate case in question (Title Suit No.2 of 1999), a word ‘caution’ would be necessary for the court below to not allow the State to become private litigant. Therefore any and every prayer made by the State must be judged on the parameters of the interest of the State in the property. In view of the fact that the suit is of the year 1999 and limits itself to be bonafide of the Will, the court below is directed to ensure that the same is disposed of as early as possible preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. With the above observation, this application is dismissed. Abhay Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
