Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to decree the plaintiffs' suit for declaration of ownership over the property, citing the principles of oral partition and testamentary succession under Indian law. The Court emphasized that the will executed by Arunachalam on 16.07.2003, bequeathing the property to the plaintiffs, was valid and that the defendants failed to prove their claims of ownership. The Court ruled that the sale deed executed by the first defendant in favor of the second defendant was null and void, affirming the plaintiffs' rights to the property.
