Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of a Will executed by Murari Lal Gupta, focusing on the distinction between the declaration and bequest parts of the Will. The Court held that the property, being self-acquired, should be divided equitably as per the testator's intent, and emphasized the need for clarity in the division of the property, particularly the barsati floor. The appeal was allowed, and the matter was remitted to the Delhi High Court for further consideration, as the previous judgments did not adequately address the construction of the Will.
