Case History
Case Summary: Srilekha Ghosh (Roy) v. Partha Sarathi Ghosh Court Decision: The Supreme Court modified the High Court's order and held that Section 4 of the Partition Act, 1893 (pre-emption right) did not apply to the respondent's claim to purchase his married sisters' shares. The Court ruled that married daughters remain family members and cannot be treated as "strangers" under Section 4, which applies only when property is transferred to outsiders. However, if the daughters wish to transfer their interest to non-family members, they must first offer it to their brother.
