Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a Will executed by Phoolbasa Bai under the Indian Succession Act, 1925, and the legality of a sale deed executed in 1987. The Court held that the trial court's findings regarding the Will and the sale deed were correct, affirming that the plaintiff failed to prove adverse possession and the status of Phoolbasa Bai as a concubine. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, upholding the High Court's decision.
