casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's judgment, holding that the defendants-appellants (Ram Swaroop and others) were entitled to the disputed property. The Court found that the widow Smt. Gangi validly transferred her inherited property to Bala Ram through a 1932 compromise deed executed under the local "illaqua" custom, which predated the Hindu Widow Remarriage Act's application to the area (effective 1950), making the Act inapplicable retrospectively. The Court also ruled the plaintiff's suit was barred by limitation, as he attained majority in 1956 but filed suit only in 1968, and his father had consented to the partition. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
