Bombay High Court Issues Directions to Streamline Probate Grant Process, Bars Subsequent Caveats

The Bombay High Court has issued specific directions to officers exercising functions under its Testamentary and Intestate Jurisdiction regarding the issuance of probate grants. The Court held that such officers should no longer make the direction to issue a grant subject to verification of whether any cross petition or caveat has been filed, as this verification must be completed before the order directing issuance is passed.
