Summary: The appellants sought revocation of Letters of Administration granted on 17.12.2021 in respect of the estate of Mst. Parveen Ayub under Section 263 of the Succession Act, 1925, claiming alleged gift deeds in their favor. The lower court dismissed the application, holding that no “just cause” existed and that the appellants were estopped, having consented to a previous order directing mutation of properties in all heirs’ names. The court affirmed that summary proceedings under the Succession Act do not decide title, and revocation requires grounds like fraud, concealment, or discovery of new material facts. The appeal was dismissed, and the impugned order was maintained.
