S.AJARAM BI @ HAJARAM BIBI vs S.KHURSHID BEGUM

The Supreme Court held that under Section 112 of the Evidence Act, there is a presumption of legitimacy for children born during continuous cohabitation, and thus the appellants were recognized as legitimate children of M. Sattar. However, the Court upheld the High Court's finding regarding the validity of the settlement deed, stating that the deed was not obtained by misrepresentation, fraud, or coercion. The appeal was allowed, but the appellants were restricted from claiming any property left by M. Sattar or Abdul Sattar based on their legitimacy.
