Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 69 of the Evidence Act, 1872, emphasizing the necessity for the plaintiff to prove the execution of a Will through at least one attesting witness. The Court held that the plaintiff failed to establish the validity of the Will dated 25.9.1981, as the required evidence was not presented, leading to the conclusion that the Will was not legally executed. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
