Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Madhya Pradesh High Court's judgment which decreed the suit filed by respondent No.1 for declaration, possession, permanent injunction, and recovery of rent concerning the joint family property based on a Will dated 9.6.1989 executed by Shri Harishankar. The Court clarified that the appellant's claim of a subsequent Will dated 10.2.1992 was not substantiated, as the respondent did not seek to declare it invalid. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, emphasizing the validity of the earlier Will and the rights of the respondents in the joint family property.
