Fakruddin Hasanmiya Pardeshi v. Ayeshabibi Hasan Khan Jummal

What is this about?
In a common judgment dismissing two second appeals arising from suits for possession and declaratory relief, the Bombay High Court analyzed Muslim Law principles regarding succession and wills. The Court held that the surviving testator of a mutual will could revoke it, defeating the bequest, thereby validating the sale and possession claim.
What did the court decide?
Both Second Appeals No. 255 and 256 of 2011 are dismissed with costs. The interim stay is extended for 8 weeks.
