Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against a High Court order that set aside concurrent findings of fact regarding the validity of a Will executed on April 30, 1980. The court examined whether the Will was surrounded by suspicious circumstances and if it was executed in accordance with Section 63 of the Succession Act. Ultimately, the Supreme Court upheld the findings of the lower courts, reinforcing the importance of customary law in the context of inheritance among the Jat community.
