Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in interfering with the trial court's findings regarding the partition of property that occurred on June 20, 1990, prior to the respondents' suit filed in 1993. The Court emphasized that there was no evidence of coercion or lack of agreement at the time of partition, and family members may agree to unequal partition for valid reasons. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the suit was dismissed, and the trial court's judgment was restored.
