MARABASAPPA (D) BY LRS. vs NINGAPPA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the properties in dispute were joint family properties rather than personal acquisitions of Parwatevva. The Court emphasized that properties purchased from the income of joint family assets are considered joint family properties under Hindu law. The ruling clarified the distinction between stridhana and joint family property, affirming the plaintiffs' entitlement to a 1/3rd share in the joint family properties as per the modified decree.
