The points urged in this petition are divided into two categories; one on merits and the other technical. All the Courts below have held against the petitioner on merits. No justification has been made out for interference by this Court in that behalf. It having been held that the petitioner did make the gift/s in dispute in favour of his own son and grandson, even if there is some technical or procedural defect, we would not grant leave to appeal in this case, in exercise of our discretionary jurisdiction. Leave to appeal, accordingly, is refused. M.B‑A./A‑464/S Leave refused.
