Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the genuineness of a will executed by Ramdhan, which bequeathed his property to the appellant while excluding his widow and daughters. The High Court had dismissed the suit on grounds of the will's lack of genuineness, emphasizing the need for the propounder to eliminate all suspicions surrounding the will. The Court held that credibility assessments of witnesses must consider surrounding circumstances and probabilities, not just witness demeanor, thereby affirming the High Court's decision.
