Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the lower courts regarding the title and possession of the suit properties, affirming that the properties were given to Sellammal as part of a family arrangement for maintenance, and that she had established her rights through adverse possession. The Court ruled that the appellant's claim for partition was not valid as the properties were self-acquired by Kuppanna Gounder and were not included in the partition. The application for additional evidence was dismissed, reinforcing the lower courts' decisions under the Code of Civil Procedure, particularly Order 41 Rule 27.
