Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision denying probate to Samir Chandra Das, citing that the Will executed by Jogesh Chandra Das was not valid due to lack of proper execution and attestation as per Section 63 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925. The Court emphasized that the Will must reflect the true intentions of the testator, which was not established in this case. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
