Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's interpretation of a will, affirming that the testator, Pearey Lal Singh Bhatia, intended for his son Om Prakash to inherit his estate after the death of his wife, Lakshmi Devi. The Court clarified that even though the will did not explicitly state this, the testator's intention was clear and could be inferred, allowing the Court to supply the missing words. The appeal was dismissed, confirming that Om Prakash was the sole beneficiary of the estate, as per the will's construction.
