Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in interfering with the findings of the trial and appellate courts regarding the validity of a will under Section 100 CPC. The Court emphasized that the propounder of the will must establish its validity by removing all suspicious features, which the High Court found were not adequately addressed by the lower courts. The judgment of the High Court was upheld, allowing the appeal and affirming the validity of the will executed by Daulat Singh in favor of Rattan Singh.
