Saving of provisions of Indian Succession Act relating to wills

Provisions in this Chapter do not change how wills are to be interpreted under the Indian Succession Act. If the meaning or construction of a will is in question, the rules of the Indian Succession Act apply. The Evidence Act provisions in this Chapter cannot override those succession rules.

Ravi's father left a will saying "to my eldest child" but it is unclear who that refers to. Even if the evidence rules in this Chapter suggest a particular kind of proof, the court will use the construction rules in the Indian Succession Act to decide the will's meaning. The Chapter does not alter that outcome.
