H. LAKSHMAIAH REDDY vs L. VENKATESH REDDY

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision granting the respondent a declaration of title and permanent injunction regarding the suit property, emphasizing that the first defendant's consent for the change of Katha in favor of the plaintiff constituted acquiescence to the plaintiff's ownership. The Court noted that the trial court's dismissal of the suit was erroneous as the plaintiff, being a Class-I heir, was entitled to a share in the property. The judgment clarified the principles of inheritance and the effect of mutation in property disputes under relevant property laws.
