M/S. Bay Berry Apartments Pvt. Ltd. & Anr vs Shobha & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of the term 'heirs' in a Will dated 14.7.1932, holding that the expression 'Waristdar' refers exclusively to male lineal descendants, thereby excluding female heirs. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to allow the appeal, reversing the City Civil Judge's dismissal based on limitation and non-joinder of parties. The Court emphasized that the Will must be construed in its entirety, and the plaintiffs' claims were valid as they were lineal heirs entitled to the bequests under the Will.
