Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court allowing the second appeal regarding the partition of property under the Hindu Succession Act. The Court emphasized that the plaintiffs, as co-sharers, are entitled to seek partition of the property, and the custom of adoption within the community was validly recognized. The Court affirmed the lower court's findings regarding the shares of the parties involved, thereby reinforcing the principles of co-ownership and partition rights under Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956.
