COMMNR.,JALANDHAR DIVN.&ORS vs MOHAN KRISHAN ABROL

The Supreme Court ruled on the validity of a will executed under the Punjab Public Premises and Land (Eviction and Rent Recovery) Act, 1973, specifically addressing the rights of the State Government as the beneficiary of the will. The Court held that the will executed by Late Sardarni Chanan Kaur was valid and that the respondent, Mohan Krishan Abrol, could not claim tenancy rights as he failed to prove the existence of a lease. The Court affirmed the eviction proceedings initiated by the State Government against the unauthorized occupant under Sections 4 and 5 of the 1973 Act, thereby upholding the State's ownership of the property.
