The only point which, has been seriously argued in this case is whether the lower Courts have erred in holding that the dispositions in the will amounted to an alienation contravening the provisions of the Bhagdari Act. The word &#8220;alienation&#8221; ordinarily means an act in the law by which property passes from one to another.
