Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision granting the respondent-plaintiff a 3/4th share in the property located at House No. 7/89, Tilak Nagar, Kanpur, while the appellant-defendant was entitled to the remaining 1/4th share. The Court clarified that the determination of ownership hinged on whether the property was purchased from joint family funds or personal funds, emphasizing the importance of the affidavit filed by the respondent in previous litigation. The Court affirmed the High Court's findings and dismissed the appeals, reinforcing the principles of partition and share entitlement under property law.
