GANGAMMA ETC. vs G. NAGARATHNAMMA & ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Trial Court's decree that granted the plaintiffs a 1/6th share in the ancestral properties, as per the principles of partition under Hindu law. The Court noted that the first defendant failed to provide evidence of independent income to justify her claim over the properties, which were deemed ancestral. The Court emphasized the importance of proving ownership and income sources in partition suits, thereby affirming the lower court's findings on the matter.
