Saroj Agarwalla(Dead) Thr Lr Abhishek ... vs Yasheel Jain

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the grant of probate for a Will claimed by Saroj Agarwalla, the sister of the testator, Jagdish Prasad Tulshan. The Court upheld the Division Bench's decision that Yasheel Jain, claiming as a nephew and beneficiary under an earlier Will, had a caveatable interest, while also affirming that Malati Tulshan, claiming to be the testator's second wife, had a caveatable interest due to prima facie evidence supporting her claim. The Court clarified that mere benefits under a Will do not confer caveatable interest unless there is a claim to the estate independent of the Will being probated, thus reinforcing the standards for caveatable interests in probate proceedings under the relevant rules of the Calcutta High Court.
