    Case Summary: RSA/596/1995 - Jagir Singh v. Dalip Singh The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed the appellants' (Jagir Singh and another) second appeal challenging the trial and first appellate courts' concurrent findings that a will dated 17.02.1992 allegedly executed by Sadhu Singh in their favor was not duly executed. The court found critical defects: both attesting witnesses admitted in cross-examination that the testator had not affixed his thumb impression in their presence, violating Section 63(c) of the Indian Succession Act; the will was unregistered and bore suspicious features (typed except for handwritten witness names, unexplained gaps, false statements about execution); and unrebutted evidence showed the deceased had love and affection for defendant Dalip Singh (his brother) yet provided no reason to exclude him. The court upheld the lower courts' rejection of the will as invalid and dismissed the appeal. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
