Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's decision that the Will was not genuine, thereby rejecting the claim of the appellant based on the Will. The Court noted that the question of whether Sundarabai was the sister of the deceased Nathuram was not decided by the High Court, but deemed irrelevant since the appellant's claim failed based on the Will. The Court held that any findings regarding Sundarabai's relationship to the testator would not have binding effect on the respondents, as the appellant lacked any semblance of right to the property.
