Invalid Bequest of Property under Section 112 of the Indian Succession Act - Bequests to unborn children or persons not of sound mind are deemed void, leading to potential dismissal of claims based on such wills. Courts have emphasized that for a will to be valid under Section 59, the testator must be of sound mind at the time of execution. If this condition is not met, the will is invalid, resulting in dismissal of related applications or suits. TRESA XAVIER vs MRS MARY SIMON (DIED - Kerala, K. Rajeswari VS M. V. Shanmugam - Madras
