Video recording of a will is legally admissible evidence: Delhi HC

In a ruling that might make settlement of a disputed will easier, the Delhi high court on Friday admitted video recording of a will as legally admissible evidence.

While deciding a 1985 case seeking grant of a will, the court was pleasantly surprised to find that it had been duly videographed, making the task of the court easier. The making of the video of the execution of the last will in this case has made the task of this court easier in arriving at its conclusion as to its genuiness, Justice S Muralidhar noted in his verdict on Friday.

He went on to suggest that the Delhi government make a video recording of the entire process of execution of a will at the time of registration in order to make the courts task easier and more transparent.
