(1.) The opposite party Nos. 3 and 4 had filed a suit being Original Suit No. 145 of 1996 before Civil Judge. Junior Division, Chakla Varanasi.

According to him, it is an established principle of law that the last will shall prevail.
(3.) He further contends that the petitioners having been in physical possession, they cannot be dispossessed by virtue of interim order. From the material on record according to him, the plaintiff was unable to establish prima facie case. On the face of will, the plaintiff did not have any title to the property.
