The Allahabad High Court has recently clarified that wills concerning agricultural holdings in Uttar Pradesh are not mandated to undergo registration, thereby ensuring their validity. In the case of Pramila Tiwari vs Anil Kumar Mishra And 4 Others, a Division Bench comprising Justice Ajit Kumar and Justice Siddhartha Varma pronounced that the requirement for compulsory registration of wills under the UP Zamindari Abolition & Land Reforms (U.P.Z.A. & L.R.) Act, 1950 conflicted with Section 17 read with Section 40 of the Indian Registration Act, 1908.
Consequently, the court declared the pertinent amendment of Section 169(3) of the U.P.Z.A.L.R. Act void, thus upholding the validity of wills on agricultural holdings without registration.
