Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's decree for partition of ancestral property under Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, affirming that the plaintiffs, as heirs of Anandibai, were entitled to their share despite the defendants' claims of adverse possession and limitation under Article 65(b) of the Limitation Act, 1963. The Court ruled that the plaintiffs were co-owners and that the suit was not barred by limitation or Order II Rule 2 of the CPC, as the defendants had not established exclusive possession. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' findings.
