Lalit Tehlan’s Moves Court Seeking Right Over Late Fashion Designer Rohit Bal’s Will

The Delhi High Court heard arguments on a petition filed by Lalit Tehlan, a close friend of renowned fashion designer late Rohit Bal for the grant of probate in respect of his Will. 

As per the Will dated October 30, 2023, Tehlan has been named as the primary beneficiary.

The Court noted that Tehlan was neither the executor nor a family member and allowed the plea to be treated under Section 278 (Letters of Administration) instead of Section 272 (Probate) of the Indian Succession Act.

However, Bal’s stepbrothers, Rakesh and Raj have challenged the will's legitimacy. Tehlan has been barred from entering the designer's home. 

The court is scheduled to hear the case on February 4.
