Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a purported Will executed by Smt. B. Akkayamma under the Indian Succession Act, 1925, particularly focusing on Section 63(c) which mandates that a Will must be attested by two witnesses. The Court held that the presence of nine suspicious circumstances surrounding the execution of the Will rendered it invalid, thereby affirming the lower court's decision to deny probate. The outcome was that the appeal was dismissed, upholding the trial court's findings regarding the Will's authenticity.
