Summary
The appellant filed a first appeal against a judgment dated 03‑04‑2024 of the Additional District Judge‑II, Rohtas, which had allowed a petition in Probate Case No. 34 of 2020. The court examined the record and noted an earlier order dated 19‑02‑2024 in FA No. 39 of 2022 directing that the appeal be treated as a miscellaneous appeal under section 299 of the Indian Succession Act. Accordingly, Justice Rudra Prakash Mishra ordered that the present first appeal be converted into a miscellaneous appeal within four weeks. The conversion is intended to align the procedural posture with the statutory provisions governing succession matters. The order was pronounced orally on 08‑04‑2026.
