Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the requirements for proving a Will under suspicious circumstances, emphasizing the need for clear evidence of the testator's capacity and the authenticity of the document. The Court held that the execution of the Will dated 25.08.1988 was not sufficiently proven, given the testator's deteriorating health and the lack of credible witnesses. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, and the Will was declared invalid, restoring the rights of the appellants to the property in question.
