Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the probate of the Will executed by the deceased testator, Shri Dattatraya Raghunath Chowdhari, under the Indian Succession Act, 1925. The Court clarified that the right of residence granted to the testator's wife and the distribution of movable property among the children were valid and enforceable. The Court emphasized that the beneficiaries, including the grandchildren, would only receive their shares upon reaching the age of 21, thus affirming the trust's control over the property until that condition is met.
