Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the applicability of Section 35(1) of the Karnataka Court Fee and Suit Valuation Act, 1958, in a partition suit concerning agricultural land, rejecting the appellant's argument for Section 35(2) applicability based on deemed market value. The Court affirmed the High Court's dismissal of the revision petition, stating that the trial court's conclusion regarding the special requirements of the case was justified. The ruling clarifies the interpretation of court fee provisions in partition suits involving agricultural properties.
