Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that all properties, including pension and retirement benefits, of late Shri Atam Parkash should be inherited by his second wife Smt. Krishna and daughter Payal as per the Registered Will dated 9th April 1982. The Court found that the Will was valid and that properties not specifically mentioned in the Will should be distributed according to the Hindu Succession Act. The appeal by the original defendants was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling on inheritance rights under the Hindu Succession Act.
