Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's second appeal regarding a partition suit under the Mohammedan Law. The Court reaffirmed that the plaintiff, as a legal heir, is entitled to a share in the inherited property of their deceased father, Sheikh Noor Mohd., despite the appellant's claims of self-acquisition and adverse possession. The Court found no substantial question of law warranting interference with the lower courts' decisions, thereby affirming the partition and separate possession granted to the plaintiff.
