Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court interpreted the Will of Nerode Chandra Vasu Mullick under the Indian Succession Act, specifically Sections 113, 116, and 129. The Court established that the legatee, Hamir Chandra Vasu Mullick, had the right to manage the estate during his lifetime and could appoint successors, with provisions for the estate to revert to the University of Calcutta if there were no male heirs. The Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision affirming the legatee's locus standi to file the suit regarding the estate's management.
