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 finding regarding the Will was erroneous and that the plaintiff, Ganeshram, had established his claim of adverse possession over the suit property. Consequently, the Court reversed the High Court's decision and declared the Will and sale deed as illegal and void, restoring the plaintiff's rights to the property.
