A judgment ULRICKY STAMBULI MOSHY
The District Court, acting within its appellate jurisdiction, properly nullified the trial court's proceedings and appointment of the appellant as administrator because the deceased's estate had already been distributed to heirs over four decades ago, leaving nothing to administer. The appellant lacked sufficient interest and impartiality, and the delay in seeking administration was unjustified. The absence of a clan meeting or exclusion of heirs did not invalidate the proceedings, and customary discrimination against female heirs is unconstitutional.
