A, aged 25, is a soldier serving in the field against insurgents. Under section 65 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, can he make a privileged will?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Illustration (iii) to section 65 holds that a soldier serving in the field against insurgents "is a soldier engaged in actual warfare, and as such can make a privileged will". Section 65 covers a soldier "engaged in actual warfare" without requiring a war against another State or a declared expedition. No permission from a superior is required.
