PARBATI DEVI vs PURNA PATRA & ORS.

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, reversing the High Court's decision which had denied the appellant's claim for partition of property based on the erroneous grounds of lack of proof of possession and extent of land purchased. The Court held that the Sale Certificate issued by the court clearly established the appellant's title and possession rights over the 1/4th share of the property as auctioned. The judgment emphasized that the appellant, having acquired the property through valid sales, is entitled to seek partition and delivery of possession.
