Legal Question in Civil Litigation in India

A testator made two wills;one dt 04 Jan 1992(Typed one) and another on 14 Jan1992(Handwritten).The draft of former will ie 04 Jan 1992 is said to have been destroyed after it's execution during XXX- exam of the propouder and hence no recital of that will is possible leading to suspisciuos circumstances.However the latter will Dt 14 Jan 1992 which is a hollographic will naturally does not have a draft.Both wills are issues for their validity in High Court.My question is :

What exactly is meant by recital of a will? How can a hand written will be recited?

Dear Sir,

Please have patience, the matter is at High Court has you said, then you will get the justice, Ok ?

Recital of a will means another part of will, that which describes area, or location, some time this is necessary to specify the area or locations.

Thank You,

Recital simply means "contents" of the documents.
