Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a will executed by Sardarni Chanan Kaur under the Punjab Public Premises and Land (Eviction and Rent Recovery) Act, 1973, specifically sections 4 and 5. The Court held that the will, which bequeathed property to Randhir Jagjit Hospital, was valid and that the respondent, Mohan Krishan Abrol, could not challenge the title of the State Government as he was merely a lessee whose lease had expired. The Court affirmed the eviction proceedings against the unauthorized occupant, thereby upholding the rights of the State Government over the property.
