Bhagat Ram And Anr vs Suresh And Ors

The Supreme Court held that the Will executed by late Mast Ram on 16.5.1973, which appointed Muni Devi as the sole heir, must be interpreted in conjunction with the oral statement made by Mast Ram to the Registrar of Deeds, which clarified the nature of the property rights. The Court emphasized that the intention of the testator, as expressed in both the Will and the statement, must be respected, leading to the conclusion that Muni Devi had the right to transfer the property. The appeal by the appellants was dismissed, affirming the validity of the Will and the subsequent sale deed executed by Muni Devi.
