VENKATALAKSHMAMMA vs H.V.SRINIVASA

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