Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court of Karnataka's judgment regarding the decree of partition, finding that the High Court failed to frame a substantial question of law concerning the First Appellate Court's finding that the properties were not joint family properties. The Court emphasized the necessity for the High Court to address whether this finding was perverse and remitted the matter for a fresh decision, ensuring that all relevant questions of law are considered. The civil appeals were allowed with no order as to costs.
