Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the distribution of property among the heirs of Perumal Naidu, emphasizing the principles of Hindu Succession Law. The Court held that each heir is entitled to a share in the ancestral property, affirming the High Court's decision that the plaintiffs are entitled to a 1/3rd share in the 'A' Schedule properties, except for Item No. 2, while confirming the Trial Court's decree regarding the 'B' Schedule properties. The judgment clarified the devolution of shares among heirs and their legal representatives under Hindu law.
