A, aged 30, is a medical officer attached to a regiment, and is actually employed in an expedition. Under section 65 of the Indian Succession Act, 1925, can he make a privileged will?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Section 65 allows "any soldier being employed in an expedition or engaged in actual warfare", aged eighteen or more, to make a privileged will. Illustration (i) to section 65 treats a medical officer attached to a regiment and actually employed in an expedition as such a soldier. Employment in an expedition is enough without actual warfare, and under section 66 a privileged will may be written or oral.
