https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=294805 Section 247 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 permits appointment of an administrator pendente lite only where necessity is shown to preserve the estate on material before the court. Mere pendency of probate proceedings, a challenge to the will, or unparticularised allegations does not justify displacing the executor, especially where no proved waste, mismanagement, siphoning off, or jeopardy to the estate is shown and an injunction already protects the assets. The probate court also cannot, through such an appointment, direct rectification of share registers, confer voting rights or corporate control, or displace existing company management, as that would exceed its jurisdiction under the Companies Act framework. en-us Thu, 11 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 30 Apr 2024 17:24:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=294805 Section 247 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 permits appointment of an administrator pendente lite only where necessity is shown to preserve the estate on material before the court.
