She contended that as the entire property of Dokara was gifted to them, both of them became joint owner, therefore, will executed by Anand Kunwar on 19.06.2005 was not a valid document, therefore, she want to amend the plaint in paragraph No.8 as Para 8.A that late Anand Kunwar has not succeeded the property from his late father Dokara in fact Anand Kunwar received the same from Dokara by way of gift deed dated 13.03.1975, therefore, the property was self acquired property of plaintiff, and late Anand Kunwar and plaintiff is legal heir of late Anand Kunwar and successor of property.
