The plaintiff relies upon the evidence of Hussain and his wife to prove that the deceased made a valid will on the 16th July, 1
978. It is his case that his brother gave the will to their mother, told her of its contents and that she put it away in a box. She forgot its existence until it came to light in the manner which she described. The existence of the will was not known to a
nyone but the testator, the witnesses and to Harbans Kaur.
