LALITABEN JAYANTILAL POPAT vs PRAGNABEN JAMNADAS KATARIA

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the Will dated 18.6.1995 under Section 63(c) of the Indian Succession Act and Section 68 of the Indian Evidence Act, emphasizing that a Will must be attested by two witnesses. The Court held that the Will was not legally proved due to non-compliance with these statutory requirements and the presence of suspicious circumstances surrounding its execution. Consequently, the appeals against the High Court's dismissal of the probate application were dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision.
