The Court held that the High Court was justified in allowing the purchasers to be added as respondents and in directing that the share of the plaintiffs in the property be compensated in monetary terms, considering the market value. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision to work out equity in the final decree proceedings, thereby upholding the orders dated 15.06.2006 and 17.06.2006.
