BHAGWANT P. SULAKHE vs DIGAMBAK GOPAL SULAKH AND OBS.

The Supreme Court held that the commission and remuneration received by co-sharers of a joint family from a managing agency agreement are to be treated as joint family property until the joint family is disrupted. The Court clarified that a unilateral claim by a co-sharer to convert such remuneration into personal property is not valid until the family status is severed. The ruling emphasized that joint family property retains its character despite individual claims until formal separation occurs, as per the principles governing joint family property.
