AI Generated Summary

The Supreme Court reviewed an appeal in a succession dispute involving the ground floor of a building not devised by the deceased testator's Will. The Court of Appeal reversed the High Court's decision, ruling the Intestate Succession Law, 1985 (PNDCL 111) was inapplicable. The appellants, who were granted temporary occupancy by the respondent, contested this. The Supreme Court struck out the issues presented by the appellants' counsel, maintained the appellate court's findings that the groundbreaking issues lacked merit, and emphasized that relief not formally sought is generally not granted unless evident from records.
