casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Kunwarjee Pandey v. Ram Pravesh Pandey (C.A. No. 006439/2005) On 18 October 2005, the Supreme Court allowed Kunwarjee Pandey's appeal against the High Court of Calcutta's order. The case involved a probate proceeding filed in 1988; respondent No.1 was served in 1991 but failed to contest, leading the trial court to proceed ex-parte in 2003. The High Court had set aside this ex-parte order on conscience grounds. The Supreme Court reversed the High Court, holding that although courts exercise conscience in probate matters, this cannot aid parties lacking bona fides or guilty of gross laches. The Court confirmed the District Judge's order with no order as to costs. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
