P.C. :
This Court vide order dated 18 January 2024 granted the Applicant a Succession Certificate in respect of the debts and securities belonging to deceased one Sikander Lal Sarna. Learned counsel points out that after the grant of Succession Certificate, the Applicant noticed that in the Schedule of the Testamentary Petition the distinctive numbers in respect of certain shares and securities
skn 2 11-IA-3598.2024.doc in the name of the deceased were not mentioned. He submits that it is only when the Applicant applied MRF Limited for transmission of 149 shares standing in the name of the deceased, that the MRF Limited vide their dated 29 April 2024 informed the Applicant as follows:
" Even though the total shareholding in MRF Limited is mentioned as 149 shares, the certificate nos.67145/87679/ 109656 and 25560 has not been mentioned and the distinctive nos. 1866555- 56 for 2 shares has also not been mentioned. There is typo error in the distinctive numbers which should read as 2055302 instead of 205532" and further requested to rectify the errors in the said grant of Succession Certificate. Hereto annexed and marked as Exhibit- "A" is a copy of said letter dated 29/4/2024 of MRF Ltd." It is, thus, the present application is filed. 2.
Having heard the learned counsel and considering the submissions, I find that the interim application deserves to be allowed in the interest of justice and for completeness of the grant of succession certificate already issued.
