KANWARJIT SINGH DHILLON vs HARDYAL SINGH DHILLON .

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the appellant's suit for declaration and permanent injunction regarding ancestral properties, affirming the High Court's ruling that the Civil Court lacked jurisdiction post-probate of a Will executed by late S.Kirpal Singh under the Indian Succession Act. The Court emphasized that once probate is granted, the validity of the Will cannot be contested in a civil suit unless the probate itself is challenged. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the legal principle that probate proceedings take precedence over civil suits concerning the same properties.
