Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Will executed by Kum. Uma Bose in favor of the Gaudia Mission, emphasizing that the Will was duly registered and executed with testamentary intent. The Court found that the respondent, Kum. Shobha Bose, failed to establish her claim to the estate, as she concealed the existence of the Will and Codicil when applying for a Letter of Administration. The Court confirmed the lower court's decision, thereby affirming the appellant's entitlement to the property under the Will and Codicil.
