Section 63 Indian Succession Act | Certification of Will Corrections by Testator and Sub-Registrar Validates Execution Despite Alterations: MP HC Gwalior
The Madhya Pradesh High Court held that when a testator certifies corrections to a will and a Sub-Registrar attests to the execution, such formal validation negates suspicion under Section 63, upholding the will’s validity even with handwritten amendments. This clarifies that minor alterations, if properly authenticated, do not invalidate testamentary intent - a critical precedent for probate practitioners handling contested wills with marginal changes.
