Supreme Court upholds probated Will in landmark tenant dispute ruling. The court ordered a tenant to vacate a rented shop and pay 25 years of accumulated rent arrears after the landlord's daughter-in-law won her case for property ownership and business expansion needs. The tenant had challenged the validity of the Will, claiming it was fraudulent, but the Supreme Court ruled that once a Will receives probate, its validity cannot be questioned in eviction proceedings. The court clarified that property ownership proof requires less rigorous scrutiny in tenant eviction cases compared to title declaration disputes. Importantly, the ruling establishes that tenants cannot acquire ownership through prolonged occupation, meaning adverse possession laws do not apply to rental properties.
