Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision in OS No.3119/90, affirming that the plaintiffs are co-owners of the suit property under the principles of co-ownership and contribution. The Court emphasized that the transfer of tenancy rights and subsequent sale deed did not negate the plaintiffs' financial contributions towards the purchase price, as established by the evidence presented. The Court ruled that the defendant-appellant's claim of absolute ownership was unfounded, thereby maintaining the injunction against him.
