SRIDEVI vs JAYARAJA SHETTY

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Trial Court's decree regarding the partition of properties left by Padmayya Kambali, emphasizing the validity of the will executed on 28.3.1976 under Section 63 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925. The Court established that the will was executed in sound mind and that the daughters were entitled to compensation rather than direct shares in the properties bequeathed to the sons. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' findings on the will's legitimacy and the partition of properties.
