The Supreme Court noted that ambiguity on the face of a Will attracts the statutory bar on extrinsic evidence, and that a bequest lacking definite intention is void for uncertainty. It held that the High Court should first have adjudicated the Will's enforceability on merits before directing compliance, because such interim directions could prejudice the pending probate appeal and force performance of provisions whose legality remained unresolved.
