Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the validity of a family settlement and partition executed on 8th February 1967, regarding the ancestral property of Bapu Saheb Kante. The Court clarified that a Memorandum of Partition, resulting from an oral partition, does not require registration under Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908, to be admissible in evidence. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling that the partition was valid and binding on the parties involved.
