Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the plaintiffs are entitled to the entire 'A schedule' property, as the original partition in 1912 allocated this property to their ancestor Narayanaswamy Mudaliar. The court emphasized that the auction sale of Chokalingam's half share did not confer any rights beyond what was owned by the judgment debtor, and the defendant's claim to the property was invalid. The court held that the plaintiffs, being the grandsons of Narayanaswamy, inherited the property and the defendant had no rights over it beyond Chokalingam's half share, which was 1.36 acres.
