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. The Court emphasized that the relevance of admissions in the written statement could only be determined after the amendment, thus upholding the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's revision petition.
