Smt. Bhajan Kaur and others .........Respondents

Present:

Mr.V.S. Rana, Advocate for the appellant.

CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1.

Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ?

2.

To be referred to the Reporters or not ?

3.

Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? -.- K. KANNAN J. (ORAL) 1.

The second appeal is at the instance of the person claiming to be an adopted son of Amar Kaur. He propounded an unregistered Will 19.05.1992 to the exclusion of the daughter to the estate of Amar Kaur. The appellant examined the scribe and witnesses but the Courts below still did not believe the document and found it to be suspicious. The main ground of suspicion was that there was no reference to the daughter of Amar Kaur and there had been no adequate reasons given either through a recital or by evidence received why the mother was disinheriting the daughter. The rejection of the Will would, therefore, seem to be appropriate and I would find no reason for interfering with the judgments of the Courts below.

2.

The second appeal is devoid of merit and it is dismissed as such.
