Naresh Charan Das Gupta vs Paresh Charan Das Gupta on 2 December, 1954
49. Since the learned Senior Counsel for the appellants would
contend that the entire evidence have to be considered for ascertaining as
to whether the witnesses have deposed about the execution and
attestation of documents, this Court is constrained to refer the above
evidence of D.W.2 and D.W.3 in extenso for better appreciation. The
learned Senior Counsel for the appellants has relied on the judgment of
the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Naresh Charan Das Gupta Vs. Paresh
Charan Das Gupta reported in AIR 1955 SC 363, wherein the witnesses
P.W.1 and P.W.2 did not say that they signed the Will in the presence of
the testator and hence, it was contended that in the absence of such
evidence, it must be held that there was no due attestation, the Hon'ble
Apex Court by observing that the learned Judges of the High Court were
of the opinion that as the execution and attestation took place at one
sitting at the residence of P.W. 1, where the testator and the witnesses had
assembled by appointment, they must all of them have been present until
the matter was finished, and as the witnesses were not cross-examined on
the question of attestation, it could properly be inferred that there was
due attestation.
