JAGANNATH AMIN vs SEETHAMMA DEAD BY LRS

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. The Court emphasized that the trial court's determination of the court fee based on actual market value rather than deemed market value was appropriate given the nature of the property. The High Court's dismissal of the appellant's revision petition was affirmed, reinforcing the trial court's findings and approach.
