Case brief
What is this about?
Bombay High Court (Testamentary and Intestate Jurisdiction), Sharmila U. Deshmukh, J., allowed Interim Application No. 1742 of 2026 in Testamentary Petition No. 2248 of 2019 on 08.04.2026, permitting post-grant amendment of the succession certificate granted on 22.04.2021 over the securities of the deceased Sudha Vijay Bhinde. Certain shares and one bank account had been omitted from the schedule of assets because the Applicant, Khyati Vijay Bhinde, was unaware of them at the time of filing; on becoming aware after the grant, she applied to incorporate them. The court held there was no impediment to the amendment, ordered it carried out within 4 weeks, dispensed with re-verification, and expedited the post-amendment grant. No statutes or precedent cases were cited; no monetary amounts involved.
What did the court decide?
Post-grant amendment to the succession certificate to include the omitted shares and bank account; amendment to be carried out within 4 weeks; re-verification dispensed with; post-amendment grant expedited.
