SHANTINATH RAMU DANOLE & ANR. vs JAMBU RAMU DANOLE & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the plaintiffs' claim for partition under Section partition of the Hindu Succession Act, affirming their 2/3rd share in the ancestral property of deceased Ramubabu Danole. The Court found that the plaintiffs, Shantinath and Housabai, were legitimate heirs despite the defendant's claims of exclusivity based on alleged non-marriage. The Court ruled that the sale of property by the defendant during the pendency of the suit was not binding on the plaintiffs, thereby granting them their rightful share.
