Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the finding of the Punjab & Haryana High Court regarding the non-proof of the will is a question of fact, and in the absence of a majority opinion in the Division Bench, the confirmation of the lower court's decree is valid. The Court emphasized its power under Article 136 to independently reappreciate evidence and determine the validity of the will. The appeal was allowed, and the matter was remanded for further consideration regarding the proof of the will.
