Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the plaintiff's claim for declaration of title and possession over disputed land, asserting that the execution of the Will by Gurdip Kaur in favor of her daughters was valid under the Indian Succession Act, 1925. The Court found that the defendants failed to prove their ownership claims and that the succession certificate obtained by the plaintiff and Roori established their legal heirs' rights. The appeal was allowed, reversing the High Court's dismissal of the second appeal.
