The alleged later document dated 13-11-1956 was not proved under Sections 63 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925 and 68 and 71 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, because attestation and execution were not satisfactorily established and suspicious circumstances remained unexplained. The earlier disposition thus prevailed and the property was declared to be a public trust. en-us Mon, 14 Jul 1997 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 23 Feb 2024 15:08:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312545 A document dated 15-12-1949 was construed under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882 and the Indian Succession Act, 1925 as testamentary in character: the executant retained ownership during life, intended the dharmshala to be managed after death through named trustees, and therefore did not create a trust in presenti, but a valid will taking effect on death.
