Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a Will executed by Shanti Sarup, which bequeathed properties to the appellant and Ritu Sarup. The Court held that the burden of proof regarding the Will lies with the plaintiff, and the trial court's decision to allow amendments to the written statement of Respondent No.6 was justified, as it did not prejudice the appellant. The Court emphasized that the admissions in the earlier written statement could be contested and that the matter required further factual determination.
