Suit for possession and damages

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 03 December 2011 This query is : Resolved
Sir,
In a suit for possession and damages which is under sub-judice in delhi court the plaintiff has claimed his absolute rights by suddenly producing a purported will on a plain paper of 22 years back. During these years the plaintiff never thought it necessary to get it probated. However, the plaintiff has now filed a probate petition. I shall feel grateful if clarification on my following point is given:-

1. Whether the suit for possession and damages filed by the plaintiff against defendant can be stayed or dismissed till final outcome of probate petition, if so under what grounds alongwith relevant judgements of Delhi high court or SC.
