Vidya Wanti & Anr vs Durga Dass

The Supreme Court addressed a dispute over the 1/5th share of Amar Nath in land, where the plaintiff Durga Dass claimed ownership based on a will dated August 20, 1987, while the defendants, Amar Nath's widow and daughter, contested its validity. The Court emphasized the importance of proving the authenticity of the will under the Indian Succession Act, 1925, and held that the will was not proven to be genuine, thus affirming the defendants' right to inherit by devolution. Consequently, the Court dismissed Durga Dass's claim for mutation and title over the land.
