S.R. SRINIVASA vs S. PADMAVATHAMMA

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the ownership and possession of property following the death of Indiramma, the last surviving heir of Puttathayamma. The Court held that the legal heirs of Puttathayamma, specifically Lalithamma and defendant No.4, are entitled to the suit property as absolute owners under the principles of inheritance. The Court overturned the High Court's decision, restoring the first appellate court's decree in favor of the plaintiffs, thereby affirming their right to possession of the property.
