Marabasappa (D) By Lrs. & Ors vs Ningappa & Ors

The Supreme Court examined the classification of properties as joint family or personal acquisitions under Hindu law, specifically addressing the implications of Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. The Court upheld the High Court's ruling that properties acquired by Parwatevva from joint family income were joint family properties, thus entitling the plaintiffs to a 1/3rd share. The appeal by the defendants was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
