Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the partition of property under Mohammedan Law, specifically examining the enforceability of an agreement (Exhibit-A6) made on 07.02.1992 regarding the division of the plaint schedule property. The Court held that the agreement was valid and binding, affirming the rights of the plaintiffs to their respective shares as outlined in the agreement. The Court emphasized that the principles of inheritance and succession under Mohammedan Law govern the distribution of the estate, thereby upholding the partition claim of the plaintiffs against the objections raised by the defendants.
