In Brief
This appeal concerned the applicability of the Limitation Act to probate applications under the Indian Succession Act. The appellants challenged a refusal to reject a plaint opposing the grant of probate of a will executed by the deceased. The Court held that the Limitation Act applies to such applications and that while the right to apply for probate arises upon the testator's death, once a will is probated, the period of limitation for challenging it begins to run from the date of probate, not from the date of death. The appeal was dismissed.
