KASHIBAI vs PARWATIBAI

The Supreme Court upheld the plaintiffs' claim for partition of property under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, emphasizing that the plaintiffs, as legal heirs of deceased Lachiram, were entitled to half share in the properties. The Court noted that the plaintiffs had established their ownership of certain lands through prior judgments, and the defendants' claims were insufficient to negate this ownership. The appeal was allowed, reversing the High Court's decision that had favored the defendants.
