CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VALMIKI J. MEHTA O R D E R % 21.05.2018 I.A. No. 7055/2018 (for directions, for release of keys of locker) 1. This application is filed by the plaintiff seeking directions that the applicant/plaintiff should get the keys of the locker no. 633 Bank of India, Khan Market, New Delhi. In terms of the orders dated 8.12.2006 and 20.12.2006 passed by this court, the keys of the locker no. 633, Bank of India, Khan Market, New Delhi, are in the safe custody of the Registry of this Court. 2. In my opinion keys cannot be directly released to the plaintiff no. 1, but the keys of locker no. 633, Bank of India, Khan Market, New Delhi, which are lying in this Court, can be sent by this Court as per the prescribed procedure to the Court of Sh. Vishal Singh, ADJ-6, Central, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi, and where a probate case filed by the applicant/plaintiff Sh. Rakesh Bhan Dass was decided in favour of the applicant/plaintiff. 3. By the order of the court of Sh. Vishal Singh, ADJ, dated 12.4.2018, the applicant has been granted the benefit of the contents of the subject locker on the ground that in the appeal filed against the judgment dismissing the for revocation of probate petition was pending in the High Court and that the High Court has not granted any interim orders staying the grant of probate in favour of applicant/plaintiff. 4. Accordingly, since the applicant/plaintiff, who is the petitioner in the probate petition, has been directed to file a valuation report of the contents of the subject locker and which cannot be done by the Probate Court inasmuch as the keys of the locker no. 633 are lying in this Court in terms of the orders dated 8.12.2006 and 20.12.2006, accordingly, this application is disposed of by directing the Registry to send the keys of the locker no. 633, Bank of India, Khan Market, New Delhi, lying with this Court, as per the prescribed procedure, to the court of Sh. Vishal Singh, ADJ-6, Central, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi. It is, however, made clear that the applicant Sh. Rakesh Bhan Dass will be released the keys of the locker by the trial court limited to the extent that Sh. Rakesh Bhan Dass be allowed to take a valuer to the locker so that the valuer can prepare the valuation report of the items given at serial nos. 7 and 8 of the Local Commissioner’s report dated 19.12.2006 which is filed in this court. The items at serial nos. 7 and 8 are two ear rings, one necklace and one cloth bag containing fifty two coins lying in locker no. 633, Bank of India, Khan Market, New Delhi. After the valuation of the aforesaid three items, the items be put back by the applicant/Sh. Rakesh Bhan Dass in the locker no. 633 as stated above, and the same will be subject to further directions which may be passed by the probate court. 5. The application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations. VALMIKI J. MEHTA, J MAY 21, 2018
