Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled on the partition of property under Hindu law, emphasizing that a co-sharer cannot sell property without the consent of other co-sharers. The Court cited relevant provisions of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, affirming that the sale deed executed by defendant No. 1-Sudam in favor of defendant No. 3-Ramdas was void due to lack of consent from the plaintiff-Sitabai. The Court upheld the trial court's decree granting the plaintiff a ¼ share in the property, thereby reinforcing the rights of co-sharers in property disputes.
