Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the writing executed by Rao Gajraj Singh regarding the inheritance of the suit property was not a valid Will under the Indian Registration Act, 1908, as it was neither registered nor attested by two witnesses. Consequently, the court affirmed that the property would be inherited equally by all eight children of Sumitra Devi, as the writing had no legal effect. The appeal by Narinder Singh Rao was dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision.
