Firm Matters

Khaitan & Co advised the client regarding filing of a suit before the High Court of Delhi, inter alia, seeking relief in relation to a Will executed by client's late father and the deceased's estate. The Will is the last declaration of the intention of the client’s father with respect to his properties, both movable and immovable, through which bequests have been made in favour of the client. The suit has been filed effectively for giving effect and enforcement of the said Will. Along with the suit, interim reliefs were also sought from the Court, including temporary injunctions, and appointment of a local commissioner.
