Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the Kamla Nagar property, affirming that it was joint family property and that the appellants had validly purchased ACK's share through an oral settlement, supported by Section 44 of the Transfer of Property Act. Conversely, the Court dismissed the appellants' claim over the Malcha Marg property, finding insufficient evidence to prove it was acquired from joint family funds. The ruling clarified the principles of joint family property and the burden of proof in partition disputes.
