NAVNEET LAL ALIAS RANGI vs GOKUL AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court held that the principles for construing a Will include ascertaining the testator's intention from the words used, considering surrounding circumstances, and interpreting the Will as a whole. The Court confirmed that the Will executed by 'BC' conferred a 'limited estate' upon his widow, thus validating the subsequent gift deed and Will made by her in favor of the appellant 'NL'. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decrees.
