Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Trial Court regarding the partition of property under the principles of Benami transactions. The Court found that the entire sale consideration for the property was paid by Battu Mal, and the plaintiff failed to prove any intention of Battu Mal to gift half of the property to him. The Court affirmed the lower court's decree granting the plaintiff a half share in the property and ordered rendition of accounts for the past three years, thereby dismissing the appeal of the defendants.
