Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Karnataka High Court's judgment reversing the Trial Court's decree regarding the genuineness of a Will dated 20.05.1991. The High Court found the Will to be suspicious and not genuine, leading to the plaintiffs' claim of ownership being denied. The Supreme Court held that the findings of the High Court were erroneous and reinstated the Trial Court's decree, affirming the plaintiffs' ownership rights over the suit properties as per the Will, thus allowing the appeal.
