A decade after the death of Bollywood actress Parveen Babi, the Bombay High Court has 'probated' her will, paving the way for disposal of most of her assets towards social causes as per her wish. Justice Gautam Patel probated Babi's will on October 14 after her relatives, who were disputing authenticity of the will, stated that they no longer wished to pursue the case. He produced copy of a will, as per which Babi wanted a trust formed and headed by him. The trust was to channel 70 per cent of her assets towards social work for women and children. Ten percent of the assets were left to Babi's alma mater St Xavier's College, Ahmedabad, while the rest 20 per cent were willed to Murad Khan.
