PANGU ALIAS APPUTTY (DEAD) THROU L.R.ORS vs NARAYANI AND ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the decree of the Subordinate Court in Original Suit No. 123 of 1990, which had denied the division of properties among the heirs of Valli under customary and Hindu law. The Court emphasized that all legal heirs, including daughters, have a right to claim their share in ancestral properties, as per the principles of inheritance under Hindu law. The Court directed a preliminary decree for the division of the suit schedule properties among the plaintiffs and defendants, affirming the rights of the daughters in the property distribution.
