Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the application of Section 50 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 in a property dispute involving the inheritance of joint coparcenary property. The Court held that the evidence presented by the defendants did not meet the requirements of Section 50, thereby affirming the lower court's finding that the property was not coparcenary and that Nandi was indeed the daughter of Chartu. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
