casestatus.in Summary

Summary of C.A. No. 001539/1998 (Rajinder Singh v. Dal Chand) The Supreme Court allowed Rajinder Singh's appeal on 24 July 2003, setting aside the High Court's dismissal of the Second Appeal concerning two competing wills. The dispute involved a registered Will dated 23 March 1978 favoring Dal Chand versus an unregistered Will dated 8 August 1982 allegedly revoking it. The Court found the High Court's reasoning—that non-registration of the subsequent will sufficiently cast doubt on its genuineness—raised a substantial question of law requiring fresh consideration. The case was remanded to the High Court for redecision under Section 100 CPC with proper formulation of the legal issues. No costs awarded.
