Orders
The Madras High Court dismissed the application as not maintainable, holding that once Letters of Administration are granted, the testamentary court loses jurisdiction to grant permission for property sales or supervise estate distribution among beneficiaries. The court ruled that while Section 307 of the Indian Succession Act empowers administrators to sell estate property for administration purposes, such relief falls outside testamentary jurisdiction and cannot be conferred even with beneficiary consent. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
