Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Chamber Order (CHOL/48/2026, decided 03.02.2026 by the Prothonotary and Senior Master): Restoration granted of a Petition for Letters of Administration with Will annexed (Petition (L) No. 29319 of 2021) which had been rejected on 09.07.2025 under O.S.Rule 986 for non-compliance of office objections. The delay of 103 days in filing the Chamber Order was condoned, the reasons in the Affidavit in Support being held genuine; the Executor had not filed the Affidavit of Renouncing, which prevented timely removal of office objections, and the captioned Petition was noted to be uncontested. The Petitioner was directed to remove office objections and get the Petition registered/numbered within two weeks from upload of the order, failing which the Petition would stand rejected under O.S.Rule 986.
