SAROJ AGARWALLA(DEAD) THR LR ABHISHEK AGRAWALLA vs YASHEEL JAIN

The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the grant of probate for a Will claimed by Saroj Agarwalla, the testator's sister, against caveats filed by Yasheel Jain and Malati Tulshan. The Court upheld the Division Bench's decision that Yasheel Jain had a caveatable interest based on an earlier Will, while rejecting the claim of Malati Tulshan, the alleged second wife, for lack of a valid marriage. The Court clarified that caveatable interest can arise from prior Wills and that mere benefits under a Will do not automatically confer such interest, thus affirming the lower court's ruling with modifications.
