The application to strike out the citation was refused because the dispute is a contested probate matter under Order 72 that raises substantial factual and legal issues unsuitable for summary disposal; procedural defects identified did not amount to irremediable breaches justifying striking out in view of the overriding objective and inherent powers, and consolidation with the pending related High Court action was appropriate to resolve the matters comprehensively.

Procedural Posture

Probate and Administration / Interlocutory Application to Strike Out Citation; Consolidation and Case Management Order

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the citation (Lampiran 115) should be struck out for being humiliating, oppressive or causing delay or abuse of process under Order 18 r 19
  2. 2 Whether the citation fails for non‑compliance with Form 167 and Rule/Order 71/72 requirements and statutory/procedural time limits
  3. 3 Whether the citation constitutes duplicative proceedings suitable for determination in another pending High Court action and whether consolidation is appropriate

Ratio Decidendi

The application to strike out the citation was refused because the dispute is a contested probate matter under Order 72 that raises substantial factual and legal issues unsuitable for summary disposal; procedural defects identified did not amount to irremediable breaches justifying striking out in view of the overriding objective and inherent powers, and consolidation with the pending related High Court action was appropriate to resolve the matters comprehensively.

Court Disposition

Application dismissed; citation not struck out; related writ action ordered consolidated with High Court Civil No. JB-22NCVC-65-10/2018; costs awarded in the action and case management directions given.
