Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision granting a 3/4th share of the property to the respondent-plaintiff under the principles of partition and joint family property. The Court clarified that the suit property was purchased from joint family funds, rejecting the appellant's claim of personal ownership. The Court emphasized that previous litigations did not extinguish the respondent's rights, thus affirming the High Court's decree of partition under the relevant provisions of the Civil Procedure Code.
