KARTAR SINGH Vs. SURJIT KAUR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE present appeal by the plaintiffs is directed against judgments and decrees dated 10.8.1988 and 8.1.1991 passed by Sub Judge 1st Class, Dasuya (hereinafter referred to as 'the trial Court') and the Additional District Judge, Hoshiarpur (hereinafter described as 'the lower Appellate Court'), respectively.

(2.) THE appellants have assailed the impugned judgment on the issue of validity of the Will which has been discarded by the trial Court as well as by the lower Appellate Court.

(3.) BESIDES , there is overwhelming evidence on record to show that Mehnga Singh was living with respondent No. 1-Surjit Kaur, his daughter. This is fortified from the fact that all the relevant documents pertaining to disbursement of his pension and bank transactions etc. were produced in evidence by respondent No. 1-Surjit Kaur. Both the Courts below have found that the Will is shrouded by suspicious circumstances and no worthwhile evidence has been shown which could persuade this Court to take a contrary view.
