More than 30-year-old Will fails in High Court: Why brothers lost claim to ancestral land

Brothers lost their ancestral farm land claim in the Chhattisgarh High Court. Their great grandfather's 1958 Will was deemed unproved. The court ruled that a 30-year-old Will does not automatically gain validity. Witnesses were not properly examined. The uncle's ownership claim was upheld. This decision ends a long family land dispute.
