S. 63(c) Indian Succession Act | Unprivileged Will Executable If Attesting Witness Sees Testator Signing Or Affixing Mark On Will : Supreme Court
The Supreme Court ruled on the validity of unprivileged wills under Section 63C of the Indian Succession Act. It held that an unprivileged will is executable even if the attesting witness sees the testator signing or affixing a mark on the will but does not sign as a witness themselves. This decision provides clarity on the requirements for executing wills, ensuring that the intent of the testator is upheld even when procedural formalities are not strictly followed, thus offering more flexibility in will execution.
