Since the captioned Testamentary Petition is uncontested Petition, to which all consents have infact been appended, in view of Rule 371 of the High Court (Original Side) Rules, 1980, the Prothonotary and Senior Master or any such officer duly authorised would have requisite jurisdiction to consider Mugdha
