BEOHAR RAJENDRA SINHA & ORS. vs STATE OF M.P. & ORS.

The Supreme Court held that the notice given by the Karta of a Hindu Joint Family under Section 80 of the Civil Procedure Code was sufficient for the suit filed by the divided coparceners, as they were deemed to be authors of the notice. The Court ruled that a second notice was unnecessary due to the severance of joint status before the suit was instituted. However, the appellants failed to prove their claim of possession over the disputed land, which was recognized as Milkiat Sarkar, thus upholding the High Court's decision to dismiss the suit.
