Case Summary: O.S. No. 50/2024 Court Decision: The Senior Civil Judge decreed the partition suit in favor of the plaintiffs. The court held that the suit property (1 acre 11 guntas in Survey No. 651) is ancestral joint family property. The plaintiffs and defendants 1-4 are each entitled to an equal 1/6th share in the property by partition and separate possession, with defendant 2 (widow of deceased defendant) also entitled to 1/6th share of her late husband's portion. Key Reasoning: The court found that land measuring 17 acres 8 guntas was lawfully acquired for industrial purposes, leaving 1 acre 11 guntas unacquired. An Assistant Commissioner's 2023 order confirmed this remainder belonged to the original owner. The suit was not barred by limitation as partition under Hindu law is a recurring right until effected. The defendant witness's credibility was discredited for refusing cross-examination. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
