LEGAL BASIS
Punjab: Section 278 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 states the required contents of a letters-of-administration petition and section 280 requires signature/verification. The competent District Judge/District Court receives the petition where the deceased had a fixed place of abode or property within jurisdiction. The current Punjab court fee for this grant petition was not confirmed from the sources used. Appellate/revisional remedies follow the Indian Succession Act and applicable civil/high-court procedure from the order actually made; this template does not assign a single appeal forum without that order.
Chandigarh: Sections 278 and 280 apply in the same way, and the competent District Court at Chandigarh receives a petition grounded in Chandigarh abode/property jurisdiction. The current Chandigarh court fee for letters of administration was not confirmed from the sources used. Appellate treatment follows the grant/refusal order and applicable court procedure; the precise appellate forum for every order was not confirmed.
