Hazara Bradri & Others vs Lokesh Dutta Multani

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the will executed by Sardar Sujan Singh on 7.12.1960, affirming that Smt. Ram Kaur had only a life interest in the property and that the ultimate ownership belonged to Lokesh Datta Multani. The Court ruled that the restrictions placed on Smt. Ram Kaur's ability to sell or dispose of the property were legally binding, thereby nullifying the subsequent gift deed executed by her in favor of the appellants. The judgment of the Delhi High Court was affirmed, reinforcing the principle that a testator can impose conditions on the inheritance of property.
