SAVITRI BAI vs OM PRAKASH GUPTA — C.A. No. 2549/2000

Summary: Savitri Bai appealed a property dispute involving her mother's will. After her mother's death, Savitri and her brother inherited property, but the brother sold his share to Om Prakash Gupta under an agreement of sale. Savitri claimed the property was bequeathed to her via a will, but three courts—the Trial Court, High Court single judge, and Letters Patent Appeal—rejected her will claim due to unreliable witness testimony. The Supreme Court found no perversity in these concurrent findings and dismissed her appeal on April 19, 2006, with no order as to costs.
