=========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE V. NATH ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 06-02-2017 Heard Mr. Aditya Narayan Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner.

The petitioner who is the plaintiff in the suit is aggrieved by the impugned order by which the learned court below has stayed the further proceeding of the suit till the decision of the probate case pending between the parties relating to the will with regard to the properties involved in the suit.

Patna High Court CWJC No.16261 of 2013 dt.06-02-2017 After considering the submissions and material on record, it does not appear that in the facts and circumstances where the grant of probate would have a direct bearing upon the claim of the parties as made in the suit, the learned court below has exercised its discretion in the arbitrary manner in passing the impugned order. The fact is admitted on behalf of the petitioner that the probate case is pending for grant of the probate of the will executed in favour of the contesting defendants by the parents of the plaintiff and the contesting defendants with regard to the properties in the suit. In this backdrop, this Court has not been persuaded to hold that the impugned order is perverse or unreasonable in any manner justifying the interference under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The application is, accordingly, dismissed.
