Judgment text excerpt
The Kerala High Court upheld the trial Court's decree for partition of 5.125 cents of land under the Travancore Christian Succession Act, 1092, affirming the respondents' entitlement to 2/3rd share after the death of their father, George Puthukkery. The Court noted that the respondents had valid claims as heirs, despite the appellant's assertions of exclusive possession and Kuthakapattam rights. The judgment emphasized the necessity of partition among legal heirs and restrained the appellant from alienating the property until partition was finalized.
