Will drawn up in English is Valid, even if the testator is ignorant of the language.

The Supreme Court in Leela Rajagopal & Ors. Vs. Kamala Menon Cocharan & Ors held that a Will drawn up in English is valid, even if the person bequeathing his/her property was ignorant of the language, provided the content was explained to the testator. "The lack of knowledge of English even if can be attributed to the testator would not fundamentally alter the situation inasmuch as before registration of the Will the contents thereof can be understood to have been explained to the testator or ascertained from her by the Sub Registrar, PW-4, who had deposed that such a practice is normally adhered to."
