PROFULLA CHORONE REQUITTE & ORS. vs SATYA CHORONE REQUITTE

The Supreme Court held that the shebaiti rights in the endowed property belong to the descendants of the testator rather than the trustees, as established by the wills dated June 4 and June 6, 1898. The Court found that the testator intended for the shebaiti rights to be heritable and not exclusively vested in the trustees. Consequently, the Court dismissed the plaintiffs' appeal, affirming the defendant's right to occupy the disputed rooms as a co-shebait.
