The court may for any reason which appears to it to be sufficient, either upon the application of any person interested in the estate of any deceased person or of its motion on the report of the Registrar and either before or after a grant of probate has been made—
  • (a)make an order removing any executor of the will of such deceased person from office as such executor and revoking any grant of probate already made to him or her;
  • (b)by the same or any subsequent order appoint an administrator with the will annexed of such estate;
  • (c)make such other orders as it thinks fit for vesting the real and personal property of such estate in the administrator and for enabling the administrator to obtain possession or control thereof; and
  • (d)make such further or consequential orders as it may consider necessary in the circumstances.
