Joginder Pal vs Indian Red Cross Society & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Will dated 12th June, 1987 executed by Ms. Raj Mohini in favor of the Appellant, ruling that it effectively revoked the earlier Will dated 2nd April, 1985 in favor of the Indian Red Cross Society. The Court emphasized that the Appellant, as the only legal heir, was entitled to the deceased's assets based on the later Will, thereby affirming the dismissal of the 1st Respondent's claim for a Succession Certificate under Section 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The Court's holding confirmed the Appellant's rights over the estate, rejecting the 1st Respondent's appeal for ownership based on the earlier Will.
