Revocation of Will -- Inapplicability of Section 69 to Hindus -- Classification has reasonable nexus with object, not violative of Article 14
(i) Indian Succession Act, 1925, S.69 -- Revocation of Will -- Inapplicability of Section 69 to Hindus -- Non-extension of a provision with a laudable object to Hindus does not by itself render it violative of Article 14 -- Object of the section is to protect the newly formed family, a purpose otherwise secured for Hindus through maintenance provisions under personal law, with no corresponding personal law obligation for Christians -- Classification rests on intelligible differentia having rational nexus with the object sought to be achieved, and gradual legislative reform does not render an under-inclusive classification unconstitutional.
