Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the Partition Deed dated March 15, 1971, and the subsequent sale of property by Oubegaranadin after obtaining a decree nullifying the partition. The Court held that the decree obtained by Oubegaranadin was not valid as it was obtained while the respondents were minors, thus violating their rights under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. The Court ruled that the sales made by Oubegaranadin were void, affirming the rights of the respondents to the suit property as per the original partition deed.
