Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the validity of the Will dated 12.12.1988 executed by Beli Ram in favor of Tota Ram, affirming that the plaintiff had established his ownership and possession of the disputed land under Section 63 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925. The Court found that the Will dated 16.05.1994, claimed by Vikram Singh, was not valid as it was surrounded by suspicion and lacked credible evidence. Consequently, the Court dismissed the appeals, reinforcing the legal principle that a registered Will must be proven valid to confer title.
