Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dispute over the inheritance of properties following the death of Shri Atam Parkash, who had two wives and had executed a Will favoring his second wife and daughter. The court examined the validity of the Will and the rights of the first wife and daughter in light of Hindu personal law. Ultimately, the court upheld the Will, affirming the rights of the second wife and daughter as per the deceased's wishes.
