    Summary: Regular Civil Appeal No. 67/2019 Court: District Court of Sindhudurg, Oros Judgment Date: 22 June 2026 Parties: Chandrabhaga Manohar Bagkar (plaintiff-appellant) v. Digambar Anant Shirodkar (defendant-respondent) Decision The appellate court partially allowed the appeal, modifying the trial court's findings while upholding the dismissal of the suit. The court held: (1) plaintiff Chandrabhaga was the daughter of Dhananjaya alias Babalo; (2) the defendant proved that Anant Baburao Shirodkar was the adopted son of Dhananjaya (on preponderance of probabilities); (3) the suit was barred by limitation as it was filed in 2010 challenging entries existing since 1971. Key Findings The core issue concerned competing claims to ancestral property inheritance. The court found credible evidence—particularly a school register recording Anant as "Anant Dhananjaya Shirodkar"—supported the adoption despite discrepancies in the adoption deed. Chandrabhaga's own application acknowledging Anant as "co-occupant" of ancestral properties weakened her exclusive heirship claim. The suit, filed nearly four decades after Anant's recognition in revenue records, was time-barred, making the declaratory relief inappropriate.
