Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the trial court's finding that the will dated 26th August, 1981 was duly proved under Section 63 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925. The Court emphasized that the mere fact of uneven distribution of assets does not render a will unnatural or invalid. The Court reinstated the trial court's judgment, affirming that the will was valid and dismissing the claim of the respondent for a share in the estate of Indira Bai.
