A.H. Pinto (Dead) By Lrs. vs V. Chaniyappa And Ors.

The Supreme Court held that once a suit is determined to be within the limitation period and redemption has occurred, the issue of partition naturally follows. The Court found that the 31st defendant, having purchased equitable redemption from one of the sharers, is entitled to that share alongside the plaintiff. The findings of the High Court regarding specific issues were not disturbed, but the case was remanded to the trial court for resolution of remaining issues.
