As per case facts, the plaintiff sought title declaration and injunction based on a Will by Dhaniram over ancestral property. Defendants denied the Will's validity and Dhaniram's ownership, claiming sale
...deeds were void. Both lower courts dismissed the suit, finding Dhaniram lacked title and the Will was not duly executed. The plaintiff appealed to the Supreme Court. The question arose whether the lower courts were justified in their finding that the Will was not properly executed and if Dhaniram had valid title. Finally, the Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' concurrent findings, noting the attesting witness's contradictory statements and the lack of proof of Dhaniram's clear title. The Court held that an unregistered sale deed does not confer title, and the Will was not proven to have been duly executed, dismissing the appeal.
