Apoline D Souza vs John D Souza

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a will executed by Florine D'Souza under the Indian Succession Act, 1925, specifically Section 276. The Court held that the High Court's reversal of the Trial Judge's finding was justified due to the lack of proper proof of execution and attestation, highlighting suspicious circumstances such as overwritings and the attesting witness's admission of discrepancies. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision, denying the grant of Letters of Administration to the appellant.
