attestation requirement for Wills

This judgment revolves around the validity of a Will allegedly executed by one Kannan in favor of the plaintiff. The Supreme Court upheld the High Court’s judgment which dismissed the plaintiff's suit for declaration and possession. The Court agreed with the findings of the lower courts that the Will had not been proved as required under the Indian Evidence Act and Succession Act. The decision reinforces the evidentiary threshold required for proving testamentary documents and the limitations of revisiting concurrent findings of fact.
