https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=276144 An appeal under Section 299 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 against an order granting letters of administration was examined for court-fee liability under the Court Fees Act, 1870. Proceedings for letters of administration begin by petition, and Section 295 does not convert contentious probate proceedings into a suit for court-fee purposes. Although an order granting letters of administration finally determines the representative right to the estate and has the force of a decree, it is not a decree in the strict sense. On that basis, Schedule II Article 11 and Schedule II Article 17(vii) were held inapplicable, Schedule I Article 1 was also inapplicable because the right was not valuably assessable, and the memorandum of appeal attracted only Schedule II Article 1(e)(5) as an application to the High Court. en-us Fri, 12 Oct 1962 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 31 Oct 2018 13:25:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=276144 An appeal under Section 299 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 against an order granting letters of administration was examined for court-fee liability under the Court Fees Act, 1870.
