Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the Trial Court's preliminary decree regarding the partition of properties left by Late Rameshwar Nath Soral, citing Section 23 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956. The Court established that daughters are entitled to equal shares in ancestral property despite claims of dowry items. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the rights of all legal heirs, including daughters, to inherit the properties.
