Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court's decision restoring the trial court's decree in favor of the plaintiffs for declaration of title and possession of property under dispute. The Court found that the property was self-acquired by Essanullah, rejecting the defendants' claim of joint ownership as heirs of Moosa Saheb. The Court ruled that the suit for possession did not abate, affirming the plaintiffs' right to recover possession of the seven rooms as part of their inheritance.
