Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the application of Section 302 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, in the context of a dispute over a Will executed by Kanha Barik Mhatre. The Court held that the probate granted to the respondents was valid despite the existence of a family arrangement, as the agreement did not alter the essential terms of the Will. The Court emphasized that the rights and obligations of the parties were governed by the terms of the family arrangement, and the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
