(naslan bad naslan) used in reference to the interest which Dhuj Singh was to, take under the will.

In all such cases the true intention of the testor has to be gathered not by attaching importance to isolated expressions but by reading the will as a whole with all its provisions and ignoring none of them as redundant or contradictory.
