JUDGEMENT
Ajoy Nath Ray, J. -
(1.)This is an appeal from preliminary decree. There is
only one appellant. It is submitted that the share declaration is erroneous
because the appellant is the holder of Letters of Administration granted by the
Administrator-General under the Administrators-General Act, 1963. The
appellant thus claims full rights to the exclusion of others.
(2.)No doubt, section 29 of the said Act provides that in case the value of the
assets does not exceed 50,000/- rupees (as per current amendment) the
Administrator-General has jurisdiction to grant such letters. The effect of the
grant is mentioned in section 32.
(3.)The effect of the Letters of Administration granted by the Administrator-
General is no more than Letters of Administration granted by ordinary Courts
of law. These do not give to the holder of the letters, title to the property but
rather obliges the holder to administer the estate in accordance with law and
the rights of succession.
