Genuineness of will

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.
