Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision affirming the trial court's decree regarding the partition of property under Section 96 of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908. The Court ruled that the rights of Smt. Veerabhadramma under the partition deed did not confer absolute ownership, as her rights were limited to enjoyment for life, thus rejecting the appellant's claim based on a subsequent Will. The Court confirmed that the respondent-plaintiffs were entitled to equal shares in the property as per the original partition deed, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
