Smt. K. Premakka D/o Late Mahadevappa vs Smt. Sarojamma W/o Late Mahadevappa — 194/2024

Case Summary: O.S. No. 194/2024 Court Decision (Partly Decreed): The court partially granted the plaintiffs' partition suit, declaring that plaintiffs and defendant No.2 are each entitled to 1/7th share in three ancestral joint family properties, while defendants No.3-5 (heirs of deceased Jagadeesh) collectively hold 1/7th share. For a fourth property, plaintiffs and defendant No.2 each hold 1/14th share, with defendants No.3-5 holding 4/7th share collectively. Key Reasoning: RTC extracts and mutation registers proved the first three properties were ancestral joint family assets held jointly by the parties. For the fourth property purchased by Jagadeesh and Gangadhar in 2001, although not ancestral, Gangadhar's unmarried death meant his share devolved to class-I heirs (plaintiffs and defendant No.1-2), while Jagadeesh's heirs inherited his portion.
