SC restores widow's rights, says suspicious registered wills need judicial scrutiny

Allowing an appeal in Sardari Lal v. Bishan Dass & Ors., a Bench of Justices Manoj Misra and K.V. Viswanathan restored the concurrent findings of the Trial Court and the First Appellate Court, which had rejected a Will executed by an illiterate farmer in favour of distant relatives while completely disinheriting his widow.
