"Fraudulent Will" : HC Denies Relief to Party

"Fraudulent Will" : HC Denies Relief to Party

Many cases have been decided by Hon'ble High Courts in India. 

In the case citation [2017] GCtR 2703,  a party had initiated litigation on the strength of a will in respect of a property. While referring the law regarding succession viz. Indian Succession Act, 1925, the principles regarding will in respect of properties was outlined. 

The date on which the will was made was looked at. The documents produced by the opposite party were marked as exhibit and which, too, casted its effect in this litigation related to will. The plaintiff was cross- examined. 

[2017] GCtR 2703 is important because it explains which document is required to be produced during litigation where a will is to be utilised. When certain things are not proved and that is combined with the steps taken by opposite party, [2017] GCtR 2703 also gives important lesson on burden of proof in litigations associated with will. 

Ultimately, the will was found fraudulent in [2017] GCtR 2703.
