Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a will executed by Shiv Singh, determining that the property in question was ancestral coparcenary property under Hindu law. The Court held that the will was null and void due to the failure of the defendants to dispel suspicious circumstances surrounding its execution, thus upholding the trial court's decision. The Court emphasized that the rights of the plaintiff and other natural heirs were not extinguished by the will, affirming their entitlement to joint possession of the suit land as per the law of natural succession.
