In Brief
The appellant challenged the High Court's decision granting probate of his mother Shyama Sundari Dassi's Will dated 1973, alleging she lacked testamentary capacity and was unduly influenced by the estate manager. The Supreme Court held that probate proceedings are limited to proving the will's genuine execution; disputes about property ownership must be resolved in separate suits. Finding no suspicious circumstances and confirming the testatrix's sound mind at execution, the Court upheld the Division Bench's decision granting probate, dismissing the appeal while reserving all other rights regarding property identities.
