Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed the equal division of property in a long-standing dispute arising from a suit filed in 1947, involving an attachment before judgment of dry fish claimed by a third party. The Court appointed the District Judge of Kanyakumari to oversee the division of the properties and emphasized the need for timely resolution of cases to restore faith in the judiciary. The appeals were disposed of with a directive for the District Judge to complete the division within six months, highlighting concerns over judicial delays.
