Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the appellant's claim to property based on a registered Will executed by his grandmother, Smt. Radhi, under Section 63 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925. The Court ruled that the appellant was entitled to possession of the land, rejecting the respondent's claim based on a prior Will that was not valid. The Court clarified that the error in the Khasra number in the decree did not invalidate the appellant's rights, thus affirming the lower court's decree in favor of the appellant.
