Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the validity of a Will executed by Kehar Singh under Section 63 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925. The High Court had reversed the findings of the lower courts, citing suspicious circumstances surrounding the Will's execution and failure to produce it during mutation proceedings. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the Will was not executed in accordance with the statutory requirements, thus ruling in favor of the respondent's claim of intestacy.
