Govindappa S/o. Venkappa Tattimani vs Manjunath S/o Venkappa Tattimani Advocate - H D Dodamani — 77/2024

Court Decision Summary The court decreed the suit for partition and granted plaintiffs equal 1/3rd share each in the agricultural properties. The court found that the suit properties are joint family properties (not ancestral), jointly inherited by the plaintiffs and defendant No.1 after their father's death in 1984, entitling each to equal shares. The sale deed executed by defendant No.1 to defendant No.3 in 2018 was held invalid and non-binding on the plaintiffs' share since defendant No.1 was not the absolute owner. The court ordered a preliminary decree for partition with directions for final decree proceedings under CPC Order XX Rule 18.
