F.M. Devaru Ganapati Bhat vs Prabhakar Ganapathi Bhat

The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decisions regarding the partition of property based on the gift deed dated September 9, 1947, executed under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. The Court clarified that the respondent, born after the execution of the gift deed, has a valid claim to the property despite the appellant's arguments regarding the absolute ownership and validity of interest creation under Section 13 of the Act. The Court affirmed the trial court's decree for partition, rejecting the appellant's contentions.
