The suit was filed by Amrit Kaur in the year 1992. After the verdict, the daughters of Sir Harinder Singh Brar would inherit the estates as well as assets, which are worth 20000 crore Rupees. This was the 23-year old legal battle.

Verdict of the Local Court
The court, in its verdict, declared that the will was fabricated and forged on 1 July 1982. Therefore, it was void and illegal. Also, the Meharwal Khewaji Trust has become illegal.
