Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court affirming the First Appellate Court's decree in favor of the plaintiffs, Angrez Kaur and Paramjit Kaur, regarding the ownership of the suit land. The court analyzed the validity of the registered Will executed by Bhajan Singh in favor of the appellants, considering the circumstances of the divorce and subsequent living arrangements. Ultimately, the court found that the plaintiffs had a rightful claim to the property, thus dismissing the appeal of the defendants.
