ASSIGNMENT I – TESTAMENTARY PETITION FOR SUCCESSION
CERTIFICATE

The petition seeks a succession certificate for the late Vishal Vishwang’s assets, including
Reliance Industries and Poonawalla Fincorp shares worth ₹19.76 lakh. The deceased died
intestate in 2013, survived by five legal heirs (two sons and three daughters, including
petitioner Ishika Apte). The delayed filing (2025) is attributed to the late discovery of physical
share certificates during the COVID-19 lockdown. The petition complies with inheritance
laws and confirms no prior applications for probate or succession certificates exist.

fact that the securities held by the Deceased were in physical form, the whereabouts of

discovered the said physical share certificates while clearing and arranging the old
documents during the lockdown period, wherein the original bonus certificate for 300
shares of Reliance Industries Limited was found. After retrieving 300 bonus share
certificates, the Petitioner realized that the original 300 shares certificates were
misplaced/lost. On the basis of total 600 shares of Reliance Industries Limited, around
600 shares of Jio Financial Services Limited were received in the year 2023, pursuant
to the Scheme of Arrangement as approved by the National Company Law Tribunal,
Mumbai Bench. The amount of dividend accrued from the holding of 600 shares of
Reliance Industries Limited has also been credited in the bank account held jointly by
the Petitioner and Deceased. The Petitioner, till the year 2021, was unaware of the
holdings of the Deceased in the shares of Poonawalla Fincorp Limited. It was only
when the Petitioner received a letter by post, requiring the holder of the shares to
surrender the original physical shares and exercise KYC requirement as per the latest
SEBI guidelines the Petitioner got aware of the shares of Poonawalla Fincorp Limited.
Till date, the Petitioner was not aware of the requirement for obtaining the succession
certificate. It was only recently when the Petitioner sought to transfer the securities held
by the Deceased abovenamed, the Petitioner was asked to produce succession
certificate. Accordingly, the Petitioner, being a senior citizen sought legal advice and

5
proceeded to file the present Petition. Therefore, the Petitioner most respectfully
submits and prays to the Hon’ble Court that the delay in fling the present Petition be
condoned in the interest of justice.

The Petitioner therefore prays that:


A Succession Certificate may be granted to her in respect of the debt and Securities set forth in
schedule-I hereto, with the power to collect the said debt and to receive interest or dividend
thereon and to negotiate or transfer the said Securities.

BY REGISTERED POST A.D.

Date: 06.04.2025

To,
The Manager,
Apple Store BKC.
Ground Floor, Jio
Drive, Mumbai.

Subject: Legal Notice for Supply of Defective Goods – Macbook – Non-


compliance with terms of contract and Indian Contract Act, 1872 and Consumer
Protection Act, 2019.

Sir/Madam,

Under instructions from and on behalf of my client, Mr. Rajiv Malhotra, residing at Flat No.
4003, Oberoi Residency, Andheri (W), Mumbai – 400069 (hereinafter referred to as "My
Client"), I hereby serve upon you the following legal notice:

1. That pursuant to a telephonic enquiry and subsequent email correspondence dated 10th
February 2025, My Client placed an order for 10 units of Macbook Pro (Model: M4
Edition 256 GB) with your company, Elite Electronics Pvt. Ltd., for commercial resale
purposes.

8
2. That your company issued Tax Invoice No. AA/2025/1924 dated 27th March 2025 for a
total sum of Rs. 12,50,000/- (Rupees Twelve Lakhs Fifty Thousand only) inclusive of all
taxes and delivery charges.

3. That the said goods were delivered to My Client on 28th March 2025 at his registered
premises in Mumbai through your designated logistics partner.

4. That upon inspection, My Client observed that 7 out of the 10 Macbook Pro were either
physically damaged (screen cracks, power failure) or malfunctioning (distorted display,
unresponsive input panel). Photos and videos of the same were promptly shared with your
customer care team on 29th March 2025.

5. That despite repeated follow-ups via email and calls between 28th March 2025 to 4th April
2025, your company has failed to replace the defective goods or refund the corresponding
amount, thereby breaching both contractual obligations and statutory warranties implied
under Section 16 of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930.

6. That your failure to act amounts to deficiency in service and supply of defective goods
under the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. The continued delay has
caused not only financial loss to My Client but also mental agony and reputational damage
in his business.

7. That My Client states that he has been left with no option but to initiate legal proceedings
against you for the following reliefs:

a) Replacement of the 7 defective Macbook Pro;


b) Refund of the proportionate amount of Rs. 7,15,000/- if not replaced within the
stipulated time;
c) Compensation of Rs. 50,000/- for losses and mental harassment;

8. Accordingly, I hereby call upon you, through this legal notice, to:

a) Replace the defective goods or refund the said amount within 15 days of the
receipt of this notice;
b) Tender a written apology and assurance against recurrence of such negligence.

9
9. Please take notice that failure to comply with the above within the stipulated time will
compel My Client to initiate appropriate civil and consumer proceedings before the
competent court/forum at your sole risk, cost, and consequence, including a claim for
damages, compensation, and litigation costs.
10. This notice is sent without prejudice to all other rights and remedies available to My Client
in law and equity.

A copy of this notice is retained in my records for future reference and legal proceedings.

SUIT FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF


AGREEEMENT TO SELL IN RESPECT OF A RESIDENTIAL
BUNGALOW

THE PLAINTIFF RESPECTFULLY STATES AS FOLLOWS:

11
1. The Plaintiff is an Indian citizen and is engaged in the business of trading and servicing
refrigeration systems and spare parts. The Plaintiff has over 15 years of experience in the
said line of business and enjoys a reputable standing in the commercial circles of Mumbai.

2. The Defendant is the owner of and is otherwise fully entitled to the immovable property
being Amara Villas, Andheri East, Mumbai (hereinafter referred to as the “Suit
Property”), which is a high-value residential property situated in one of the most premium
and exclusive locations in Mumbai.

3. On or about 17th May 2021, the Plaintiff and Defendant entered into an agreement in
writing for the sale of the Suit Property for total consideration of Rs. 60,00,00,000/-
(Rupees Sixty Crores Only). A true copy of the said agreement is annexed hereto and
marked as “Exhibit A”.

4. The agreement was executed after several rounds of negotiation between the parties, and
the Defendant specifically represented that he had clear, marketable, and unencumbered
title to the Suit Property and that there were no impediments, including any litigation,
charge, or tenancy, affecting the sale thereof.

5. At the time of execution of the agreement, the Plaintiff paid an advance/part consideration
of Rs. 20,00,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty Crores Only) by way of Cheque No. 123455 dated
17th May 2021 drawn on Axis Bank, Nariman Point Branch, which was duly encashed by
the Defendant. This payment was made against a specific receipt issued by the Defendant
acknowledging the receipt of the advance and reaffirming his obligation to complete the
sale by executing the conveyance deed.

6. As per the terms of the agreement, the balance consideration of Rs. 40,00,00,000/-
(Rupees Eighty Crores Only) was to be paid in tranches within three months from the date
of agreement, upon completion of basic formalities such as handing over clear title
documents and clearance of property dues.

7. The Plaintiff, being financially sound, duly arranged for the remaining consideration
through internal accruals and sanctioned credit lines and on multiple occasions between
May 2021 and July 2021, approached the Defendant for execution of the sale deed and

12
acceptance of the remaining payment. Despite repeated oral and written requests, the
Defendant avoided the performance of his obligations under the agreement on frivolous
grounds.

8. On 1st August 2021, the Plaintiff issued a legal notice calling upon the Defendant to
perform his part of the contract and accept the balance consideration. The Plaintiff
specifically asserted his readiness and willingness to perform the agreement and warned
the Defendant that failure to comply would compel legal action. A true copy of the said
notice is annexed and marked “Exhibit B”.

9. The Defendant replied on the same day, i.e., 1st August 2021, wherein he categorically
refused to proceed with the sale and unjustifiably alleged that he had retracted from the
agreement. A copy of the said reply is annexed and marked “Exhibit C”.

10. The Plaintiff states that the Defendant’s refusal to execute the conveyance was without
cause and is indicative of the Defendant’s mala fide intentions to resile from a legally
binding contract. The Plaintiff verily believes that the Defendant may have subsequently
received better offers or was induced to breach the contract due to the soaring real estate
prices in the area.

11. The Plaintiff submits that he has always been ready and willing to perform his part of the
agreement and has never defaulted in any manner whatsoever. The Plaintiff is prepared
to deposit the remaining consideration of Rs. 40 Crores before this Hon’ble Court as a
mark of bona fide intent and financial capability.

12. The Plaintiff further submits that Suit Property is a unique immovable asset with
irreplaceable value owing to its location, layout, and heritage character. No amount of
monetary compensation can substitute for the same, and therefore, specific performance
is the only just and equitable remedy available to the Plaintiff.

13. The Plaintiff has not created any third-party rights or encumbered his rights under the
contract and remains the sole beneficiary under the agreement with the Defendant.

13
14. The cause of action for the present suit first arose on 1 st August 2021s when the Defendant
issued the refusal letter and has continued to subsist ever since. The present suit is filed
within the period of limitation prescribed under Article 54 of the Limitation Act, 1963.

15. The Suit Property is situated within the territorial jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court, and
the agreement was also executed in Mumbai. The cause of action has arisen wholly within
Mumbai.

16. The present suit is valued at Rs. 60,00,00,000/- (Rupees Sixty Crores Only) for the
purposes of jurisdiction and court fees, which is within the pecuniary jurisdiction of this
Hon’ble Court.

17. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the Plaintiff most respectfully prays that
this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to:

a. Pass a decree of specific performance of the Agreement dated 17th May 2021 and
direct the Defendant to accept the balance consideration of Rs. 80,00,00,000/-
(Rupees Forty Crores Only) and execute the Sale Deed in respect of the Suit
Property being Amara Villas, Andheri East, Mumbai in favour of the Plaintiff;

b. Permit the Plaintiff to deposit the balance consideration of Rs. 40,00,00,000/-


(Rupees Forty Crores Only) with this Hon’ble Court or in an escrow account as
directed;

c. Grant a permanent order of injunction restraining the Defendant, his agents,


servants, representatives or any person acting on his behalf from selling,
transferring, alienating, parting with possession, or creating any third-party
interest in respect of the Suit Property during the pendency of the suit;

d. Appoint a Court Commissioner, if necessary, to verify the status and possession


of the Suit Property and submit a report to this Hon’ble Court;

14
e. Award costs of this suit and incidental proceedings in favour of the Plaintiff and
against the Defendant;

TO,

19
The Hon’ble Principal Judge and Companion Judges of the Hon’ble Sessions Court at Greater
Bombay.

THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE PETITIONER ABOVE NAMED:

MOST RESPECTFULLY SHEWETH:

1. The Petitioner is a law-abiding citizen of India, aged about 40 years, and resides
permanently at the address mentioned in the title above. He is a qualified Architect and
runs an independent design firm based in Andheri (West), Mumbai.

2. The Petitioner’s father, Mr. Harish Dasani, jointly owns residential and commercial
properties with his cousin, Mr. Rakesh Dasani. Over the last few years, several civil
proceedings have arisen between them over the division and control of jointly held
properties, including litigation in the Bombay High Court and City Civil Court.

3. The Petitioner submits that due to the ongoing family disputes, Mr. Rakesh Dasani has
developed animosity and has consistently resorted to filing baseless complaints against the
Petitioner’s father and other family members, including the Petitioner himself. These complaints
have previously resulted in no criminal action due to lack of substance.

4. Recently, on or around 12th March 2025, the Petitioner came to know that Mr. Rakesh
Dasani has lodged yet another complaint with the D.N. Nagar Police Station, falsely
implicating the Petitioner and his family members in allegations of trespass and
intimidation, purportedly in relation to a dispute concerning renovation works in a jointly
held office premises.

5. The Petitioner strongly believes that the said complaint is retaliatory in nature, arising out
of a prior N.C. Complaint (No. 222 of 2025) filed by the Petitioner on 27th February 2025,
against Mr. Rakesh Dasani for forcibly entering and disrupting ongoing renovation work
at the premises.

6. The Petitioner is a respected professional with no prior criminal record and is willing to
cooperate fully with the police in any investigation. However, he has reason to believe that
the said complaint by Mr. Rakesh Dasani is being used to unjustly harass and detain him.

20
7. The Petitioner submits that there is no requirement for custodial interrogation in the matter
and that his arrest would cause irreparable damage to his personal and professional
reputation.

8. The Petitioner undertakes to make himself available for investigation and comply with any
directions that may be issued by this Hon’ble Court. He resides in Mumbai permanently
and has deep family and business roots in the city, and there is no apprehension of him
absconding or tampering with evidence.

9. In view of the above, the Petitioner most respectfully prays that this Hon’ble Court may
be pleased to:

a. Grant anticipatory bail to the Petitioner in the event of his arrest by the D.N. Nagar
Police Station in connection with the complaint filed by Mr. Rakesh Dasani;

b. Pass such further or other orders as may be deemed just and proper in the facts and
circumstances of the case.
