Genuineness of will
The question was about genuineness of a Will.
SLP AGAINST ALLAHABAD HIGH COURT JUDGEMENT.SLP was dismissed
summarily .NOT kept on record
The man claimed "He was servant of the deceased. All his relatives had left him in his old age.
He was looking after all court cases between deceased and his sons. Being pleased with his
service, the old man, before dying, signed one page typed will, in which one property was given
to him."
Judge thought like a Detective. It was possible that this man may have obtained signature of old
man for purpose filing some case and then he may have misused this paper for making Will in
his favour.
Judge carefully looked at Will. It was typed on one page in double space. But last four lines of
will were in single space. This indicated that signature was first obtained on blank paper and then
to accommodate writing, last four lines were squeezed into single space typing, just till above the
signature.
The Judge refused to believe the will after looking at this as well as other circumstances which
made this Will suspicious.
His judgment was upheld by all superior courts.
