Jyoti Sharma v. Vishnu Goyal 2025 INSC 1099 - Eviction Suit - Will
Tenancy Law -In a suit for eviction, the proof of ownership of the tenanted premises is not to be strictly looked at as in a suit for declaration of title- The tenant having come into possession of the tenanted premises by a rent deed executed by the earlier landlord, cannot turn around and challenge his ownership. (Para 9,10)
Will - In this case, trial court suspected the Will on the ground that nothing was kept aside for the wife. The finding of the trial court that it is not natural that a person would not keep in mind the interest of his own wife, is not a valid ground to suspect the intentions of the testator or the probity of the bequest made. (Para 9)
