Arising out of a dispute pertaining to the execution of the alleged last Will and testament of one Thankam, this appeal challenges the final judgment and order dtd. 30/11/2022 in RFA No. 298 of 2019 passed by the High Court of Kerala at Ernakulam, that had in turn been preferred against the judgment and decree dtd. 18/2/2019 in O.S.
