(1.) The whole case is revolving around Ex.P3 and P4 viz., the original wills dated 03.02.1984 purported to have been executed by the father and mother of the plaintiff and the defendants 1 and 2 i.e., by Dr.K.G.Krishnasamy and his wife Mrs.Ramlakshmi Krishnasamy bequeathing the immovable property specified in the plaint A schedule in the testamentary suits in favour of the first plaintiff Mr.K.Seshadri and the second defendant K.Gopal disinheriting their only daughter, the first defendant, and she alone challenges the validity of the wills Exs.P3 and P4 (Exs. P1 and P2 are the xerox copies) dated 03.02.1984.
(2.) So the burden to subscribe the answer rests on the shoulder of the propounder of the wills. If the testator and testatrix alive, this question would not have arisen because the alleged wills would not have been brought in to existence as it would take effect only after their demise.
(3.) With the propounder being the sole executor and one of the beneficiaries along with second defendant Mr.K.Gopal, the onus is on his part to answer this question.
