The Times of India had published threearticles in its print edition on November 20,22 and December 4, 2010 and its internetedition on December 1, 2010 regarding theallegations by Uday Dandavate that hisfather's probate was inordinately delayedbecause he allegedly refused to pay money to

officials in the Testamentary department.Subsequently, an inquiry was set up by

the Hon'ble Chief Justice which found that theallegations were false and came to theconclusion, Uday and his Advocate were to beblamed for the delay. As a matter of fact, thesaid Testamentary petition was decided in lessthan three years, out of which a period ofalmost two and a half years was consumed bythe party and his Advocate, in payment courtfees, complying with various formalities andremoving office objections.

Accordingly, to this effect, a pressrelease was issued by the Hon'ble BombayHigh Court on 3.12.2010, which we havealready published in an article on 05.12.2010,clarifying to our readers that the said

allegations of corruption, as reported by us,were not true. We hereby state that ourreporter, though required, did not verify orascertain the correct facts from RegistrarGeneral of the Hon'ble High Court or anyother concerned official. As a result,incorrect, misleading and wrong information

was printed and published by us, as alsopublished on the internet edition about thefunctioning of the Testamentary department
