Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the lower appellate court regarding the partition of property, affirming that the appellant was entitled to a share calculated as 7/24, correcting an earlier miscalculation of 5/24. The Court emphasized that the sale deeds executed by Defendant Nos.1 and 2 were valid only concerning their respective shares, and the absence of the sons of Defendant No.1 in the original suit did not invalidate the sale. The appeals were allowed with a minor correction in the share calculation, confirming the lower courts' findings under the relevant property laws.
