Shyam Lal @ Kuldeep vs Sanjeev Kumar & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a Will executed by the deceased Balak Ram under Hindu Law, specifically regarding ancestral property. The Court held that a Hindu male cannot bequeath ancestral property through a Will, thus declaring the mutation number 1313 dated 20.2.1988 in favor of the grandsons as illegal and void. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, reaffirming the Trial Court's dismissal of the plaintiff's suit based on the absence of a valid Will.
