Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 018163/2013 Sukhdev Prasad v. Decd. Prayag Nath Th. Legal Hairs Ayodhy Sukhdev Prasad challenged a High Court decision upholding dismissal of his petition under Section 299 of the Indian Succession Act seeking recognition of a will dated 15.1.1973 allegedly executed by Rishi Kesh Chaubey in his favor. The Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' concurrent finding that the will was fabricated, noting suspicious circumstances including unexplained delay in disclosing the document (5 years after testator's death), refusal to provide a copy when demanded, and suspicious spacing alterations suggesting the will was typed onto a pre-signed blank page. The Court found no merit in interference and dismissed the special leave petition. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
