Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision in Regular Second Appeal No. 7310 of 2009, which restored the trial Court's judgment declaring the registered adoption deed dated 9.2.1971 as null and void. The Court emphasized that the plaintiff, being a member of the undivided family, is entitled to a partition of the family property as per the Hindu Succession Act. The ruling clarified the rights of heirs in intestate succession, particularly in the context of family property partition.
