Copy of Judgment

Court Decision Summary The II Additional District & Sessions Judge, Thanjavur, decreed a partition suit filed by four sisters (Jayalakshmi, Umarani, Parvathi, and Vasanthakumari) against their brother Balachandar, granting the plaintiffs a 4/5 share in the disputed property. The court held that after their unmarried brother Kesavan died intestate in a motor accident in February 2020, the plaintiffs and defendant became second-class legal heirs under Hindu law and are entitled to equal shares in his estate, despite having executed release deeds to Kesavan earlier, as those deeds could not bind their inheritance rights upon his unexpected death. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
