Kirpal Kaur vs Jitender Pal Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision dismissing the appellant's suit for partition of property, confirming that the property in question was self-acquired by the deceased father-in-law of the appellant and not subject to partition under Hindu law. The Court emphasized that the burden of proof lies on the party claiming a share in self-acquired property, as per established principles under Section 30 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' findings regarding the nature of the property and the absence of entitlement for the appellant.
