Elder sister revoked first Will favouring younger sister after property dispute; HC upheld the second Will giving the house to adopted daughter

A recent case before the Punjab and Haryana High Court showed how bitter a family property dispute can become. A younger sister and her husband allegedly went against the family to seize control of the elder sister’s house property after she removed her younger sister from the property's Will. The high court case is a stark reminder of how quickly blood relations can turn bitter when property is involved.

To give you more details about this high court case, this case involved two sisters fighting over a six-room house built on 79 square yards of land in Ludhiana, Punjab. This Ludhiana house property is owned by Mrs Harbhajan Kaur and she is a widow. She has a younger sister, Smt Kaur and a brother Mr Tarsem Singh (now deceased) who lived nearby. Since Mrs Harbhajan Kaur was childless, her brother used to come to her house and took care of her as and when she needed (since she was old) until the day he died.
