Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the application under Section 65 and 66 of the Indian Evidence Act, stating that the appellants failed to prove the existence of the original Will necessary for allowing secondary evidence. The Court emphasized that without serving notice to the revenue official as required under Section 66, the application for secondary evidence was not maintainable. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' rulings.
