he found him to be of a sound and disposing state of mind at all times until his death. He stated that he had observed that the deceased testator would go for a walk every day till his death. The witness sought to rely upon a certificate dated 15 September 2010. Since the certificate was issued well over a decade after the death of the testator, that part of the evidence would have to be ignored. On behalf of the Appellants the testimony of Dr.Narayan Kamat was sought to be challenged in these proceedings by urging that he was not an M.B.B.S qualified doctor but possessed a qualification granted by the Maharashtra Faculty of Ayurveda and Unani Systems of Medicine. However, it merits emphasis that beyond asking the witness a question about what the abbreviations in his qualifications stood for, the line of inquiry was not further followed. In the circumstances, it would be impossible to allow the Appellants to impeach the medical qualifications of Dr.Narayan Kamat in these proceedings, particularly in the absence of any crossexamination on the issue. We have taken due note of the fact that the witness stated that the testator had not informed him of having made a will nor had he examined the testator on the date on which the will was executed. Ultimately in a matter such as the present, the test that has to be applied is as regards the satisfaction of the judicial conscience of the testator being in a sound and disposing state of mind. The testator was 68 years of age when the will was executed and the record indicates that he was not suffering from any mental condition or from any condition that would have rendered him incapable of making a testamentary disposition. On the contrary, there is on the record the deposition of one of the caveators, who is one of the daughters of the testator, to the effect that the deceased did not suffer from any major illness during his lifetime and that he was not even admitted to a hospital for any illness.
