Summary: A legal fight over a valuable property at Malabar Hill reveals dishonest actions by Bilkish Yunus Namakwala, who got property rights by lying. The court has canceled her fake permission to manage the estate.
Lady Jena Jamshedji Duggan passed away in 1993, leaving behind a disputed estate. Her will, dated April 4, 1993, was initially approved in favor of her grandson, Dr. Feroze Duggan. However, years later, Bilkish Yunus Namakwala claimed rights based on a suspicious will dated April 6, 1993.
Bilkish Namakwala got permission to manage the estate in 2022 by claiming there was a will that supposedly left the valuable Lawnside property to her. The court found these claims to be fake, noting that the will was likely forged, and that Namakwala had misled the court by not informing interested parties.
"Fraud unravels everything," noted the judgment, emphasizing the deception involved.
The real will of Lady Jena, dated April 4, 1993, had already been challenged and upheld in favor of Dr. Feroze Duggan after extensive legal proceedings. The court highlighted that it was unlikely Lady Jena would have changed her will just two days later.
The court's decision emphasizes the importance of honest legal processes and the serious consequences of dishonest actions. The rightful heirs of Lady Jena Duggan's estate can now move forward without the burden of deception.
