DATE : 8TH JANUARY, 2025 P.C.:- 1.

The Applicant was granted Letters of Administration in respect of properties and credits of one Chandan Ram Marathe (deceased) vide an order dated 1 st June, 2022. Learned Counsel for the Applicant submits that on account of old age and not being familiar with the procedure in law, the Petitioner could not administered the estate in the prescribed time. It is thus an extension of time is sought for by the present Application.

Having heard Learned Counsel and having satisfied myself that sufficient cause has been shown to grant the extension as also the interest of justice require the same to be allowed, I am inclined to allow the Interim Application in terms of prayer clause (a) which reads thus: Shubham 1/2
