M/S. BAY BERRY APARTMENTS PVT. LTD. &ANR vs SHOBHA .

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of the term 'heirs' in a Will executed on 14.7.1932, holding that the term should be understood in the context of the entire document. The Court ruled that the expression 'heirs' referred only to male lineal descendants, thereby excluding female heirs from inheritance. The Court also upheld the High Court's decision to allow the appeal, reversing the lower court's dismissal based on limitation and non-joinder of parties, thus affirming the plaintiffs' rights to the properties bequeathed in the Will.
