#Section 63 Indian Succession Act

The Supreme Court ruled that a will is enforceable only if it complies with Section 63 of the Indian Succession Act and is proved under Sections 68 and 69 of the Evidence Act. Because the will in dispute failed these tests, the trial court's partition decree was restored, impacting the heirs in the succession case.

The Himachal Pradesh High Court holds that property inherited from a non-occupancy tenant under statutory vesting ceases to be ancestral and becomes self-acquired, making it freely disposable by will. Concurrent findings of fact on the execution of a will, once affirmed by two lower courts, cannot be reappreciated in a second appeal under Section 100 CPC, reinforcing finality in testamentary disputes affecting heirs and beneficiaries.
