Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to decree the plaintiffs' suit for possession of property under the stipulation of a Will executed by Smt. Kalla Jaggayyamma. The Court clarified that the property devolved upon the plaintiffs as female offsprings of Smt. Sadaram Appalanarasamma, rejecting the defendants' claim of absolute title under a subsequent Will. The judgment emphasized the importance of the stipulation in the original Will regarding devolution of property, thereby affirming the High Court's reversal of the Trial Court's dismissal of the suit.
