KAREDLA PARTHASARADHI (D) THR. LRS. vs GANGULA RAMANAMMA (D) THR. LR. .

The Supreme Court examined the validity of the High Court's decision to allow the first appeal filed by the defendant, which reversed the trial court's decree for ejectment of the defendant from the suit house. The Court held that under Section 8 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, the plaintiff, as a Class II heir, is entitled to the property after the intestate death of Karedla Satyanarayana. The Court concluded that the defendant's claim of ownership as the deceased's wife was not substantiated, thus reinstating the trial court's decree for ejectment.
