Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal in Civil Appeal No. 1190 of 1977, affirming the High Court's decision regarding the partition of a house built on joint family funds. The Court held that the finding of the High Court regarding subsequent constructions was a factual determination based on evidence, and thus, there was no ground for interference. The Court emphasized that if any party desires a division of the house, they must file a separate suit for partition, as per the principles of joint ownership.
