Kiran Lahu Zende vs Sharda Lahu Zende — 475/2025

Summary: The compromise petition filed by both parties in a property partition case was rejected. The court found that the property in dispute is a Class-II agricultural property acquired by the deceased under the Ceiling Act, which cannot be partitioned without prior sanction from the Collector under Section 29 of the Maharashtra Agricultural Lands (Ceiling on Holdings) Act, 1961. Since the parties failed to obtain the requisite authority sanction, the compromise was deemed invalid and legally unenforceable.
