KONDIRAM BIKHU KIRDAT vs KRISHNA BIKHU KIRDAT

The Supreme Court upheld the appellate court's decision regarding the partition of joint family properties under Section partition of the properties by metes and bounds in equal share. The Court established that the joint family existed until November 10, 1964, and all properties acquired during that time were joint family properties, entitling the plaintiff to a half share. The Court affirmed the requirement for contribution towards the purchase price of certain lands, thereby confirming the appellate court's findings.
