On behalf of the plaintiffs in i"A,_iV'(}.A$.No.8882/O1 they have examined themselves as PW's.1 and 2 and defendant Nos. 1 and 2 have been examined as I}Ws.1 and 2 respectively and in support of their respective contentions, the plaintiffs have "'v-docuranentary in their proper perspective. not necessarily give an indication P.W.2 during the course of 3

We have heardythe appearing for the appellantefiand the both the suits. it 'appearing for the defendant--appeilant:s.it that the learned trial Judge has looked into the evidence, either oral or not questioning the consent letters given bypdefendant No.1 as well as other brothers does that the property in V' question would be an exclusive property of plaintiff No.2. fie further submits that there is a clear admission by evidence that he has no documents to show that he had sent any money to his father for purchase of the suit schedule property and He further ' -14- also for construction of the first floor. He further submits that the specific case made out by the is that the suit schedule property is the property of plaintiff No.2.

Kalyan Shetty, in support of the appeal. which is filed by the children of 'defendant No.1 in the companion suit. submits that indeed. property in question is the self acquired property "of their grand father.

12. Learned counsel for the plaintiff--respondents ' supports the judgment and decree of the trial court. He X M x '

-1}-

submits that oral evidence let in by the plaintiffs would clearly disclose that the second plaintiff was an _4Engirxl2eer and was working at Bhopal right from the _ it is revealed in the correspondence between father*«.. and the son which shows that financial help. Hence, he s'ub__mits"t_hat the»'engtVire for the purchase of the bit CITB was paid by him_ » on one occasion the bArgothersVV_antiVg that it is the secon_d'p;laintiff, of the property in as various documents.

Hence,' the learned trial Judge was the suit.

E3. in. far as the appiéal filed by the plaintiffs in 0.8.8743/2007 is concerned. the learned trial Judge was justified in dismissing' the suit since it is a suit for partition and _ separate possession of 1/6"' share, as the other sharers if giurere required to be made parties to the proceedings and glin their absence, the question of allotting 1/6th share to the plaintiffs does not arise. Hence, according to him the trial Judge was justified in dismissing the suit. f3 1 ~§t"3m We have given our anxious consideration to the contentions urged by the parties. The following arise for consideration:-

a) Whether the oral and docupmentcii-y---liévildence would disclose that plqint,i_f_"}f 5}ANo.2.;.,__in,__ O.S.No.8882/2001 is the absoiate came:-».of"r:ie.p"' suit schedule propertgfand entitled a gift to plaintt:ffNo.1'?z7«.:' V i' I iv b} Whether the evia"~ence"on_ tvouldlfesvtablish the fact that the _._mb'n¢5iJ.:for"tfD@truction was met by pf3ivntiff.NG"§? . .. . ._ To ansxngr necessary for this Court to:.:look_'inte ;i:V'ee_oi-ap:1\»..;,_;,¢1t documentary evidence.

In so far as the f _ ecrcsseicamination is concerned. it has come on record the income of the grand father was between Rs.50 if "to Rs."70/- per month. He has also deposed that his father i.e., plaintiff No.2 has been working in Bhopal in fire J «K "13, the City Improvement Trust Board on 25/4/1961, we . propose to examine the documents at the later stage. For the present, we propose to examine £n¢4...§a-;;1..,_ evidence adduced by the parties. This is the _ which is let in by the first plaintiff.

We notice that an "".'atté;active initial salary which was drawn by him. He uflwould also refer to the various emoluments which he was getting inclusive of Dearness Allowance, Visitation Allowance, Project Allowance, thus amounting to aftecreaching Madhya Pradesh, he quit private has also not stated anything as to what happened to the said money. Indeed, he would admit that elder brother plaintiff No.2 went to Madhya Pradesh after Degree in Engineering and has been working there it then and has stayed there.

24. In so far as the source of funds for construction of the building is concerned, it is stated that it is from the insurance amount and__e'arn1.n.gs': :_. if of the children. It is no doubt, true that a is if taken before us by the learned :C.egunsel':'tAfo:r"-- defendants that the "earnings o'f._"childre--n:

--3{}-

a share in the property, they would also have joined with plaintiff No.2 in executing the Indemnity Bond.

27. We propose to refer to only three"

documents i.e.. Exs.I).18, 19 and 20. Indeed~,'..':the-.roral "

evidence of defendant No.1 disielosesy thatch' himself nor his brothers have inyesitedii towards purchase of the site o--r__i'1"o_r the niattier towards construction of the ground ar::.!_:"firs:tu floor.--.._ This is further strengthened 'three which are Ex:s.D.18 to 20. u_:VE2g:.D.?i'8"'is:V;rei'eifabie'. letter of . appointment_issued:hy Mys<ore 'El-ectrical Industries Limited,i7_wherein;.'dei'endanvt__ ?~lo.1 was appointed for a period of six; months" 12/ 1961 on a temporary __basis._§iEx..D.19" letter of appointment issued by lEliecvti*ical Industries Limited on 11/5/1961, basic salary would be Rs.90/- per , _month plus other allowances. Ex.D.20 is another letter h /1964 issued by Mysore Electrical industries wherein, the pay of defendant is shown as

- per month. We observe that the first defendant «also has a family of his own and after deducting the personal expenses, we are of the View that nothing would remain to purchase a site or to put up construction on m_7,§-

the ground and first floor. It is no doubt true that a statement is made by the first defendant that 'e obtaining necessary technical education ;_. printing, he has set up a printing press an-d--».assVu'm:in_g that he has earned income from saidiAprint.ing--.press.i the said amount was sought Vt'o_be invested speiseytrherie. We are of the view that there isl4i'ab'solute'ly'. evidence on the part of the deife'nda1its:_ that "diather- Lakshrnan Rao had enou_gh.__inVcorne«..::te.fV_'ipnrchase the property and i had surplus amount to Vtheeéground floor or for that Italso relevant to note that the to 1st floor and not the ground tloor} A it .9 V " 'rvno doubt true that there is some evidence has been let in by the parties indicating that theirgtnother had four sites and the four sites were and the said money was being used for construction. however. that remains only an assertion in as much time and again it is stated that any amount of oral evidence without any foundation for the same cannot be looked into. Indeed, on a perusal of the entire material evidence anti on a preponderance of probabilities, we are of the view that the learned trial Judge was justifiet§,_in. hoiding that some amount was being sent by 2"' if to augment the family income.

29. We also note that the allotment of a site was the year 1958. Right from of the suit i.e.. almost 40 the 'No.1 has not raised his little finger assertingvijregarding the property in self acquisition of his fatherané. for a share. It is only when an is-'sent, the suit is filed by the childreniof claiming their 1/ 6"' share "making other sharers as parties. We also » pension of Lakshman Rao with other not-:"even sufficient enough for sustenance i _of the_ fairziliyig' Aiavhich is implicit from Ex.P.49 wherein, hastiwritten a letter to the son i.e.. plaintiff No.2 him about the penurious circumstances in the family was placed. We also note that before Tplaintiff No.1 shifted his place of operation from Bhopa}. to Bangalore, the grouné floor was occupieé by one of his father's brothers and his children anti withoutia demur c 1*-%;'-4% that they are entitled for a share. the fact that the other legal heirs who are also entitled for a similar share suit schedule property having not been made partiesi,p'_~w_ie3 _.__ if are therefore of the view that the suit is liab_le..tVo"'efailffor if non-joinder of necessary parties.

30. It is also brought defendant No.1 is no longer tflgfitiiiedirle property and it has that he has put up a construction else*.ir_h'ereVi.i:een residing there with his as of now are the two chi1dren:..o'ffirst«diefendanti;§ iirho are residing in the first Vvfiocr'. _isianoEther' reason for us to hold that at no pointéof tirVne,""de--fe"ridfant No.1 has exercised his "~_acquired'property of his father and is entitled for a share} 4 i

31..R}_Indeed, whenever a partition takes place all I the Vrnernbers are required to be made parties to the '"2___":prd;ceedings and they have not been made as parties, "",hence we are of the view that the suit itself is not maintainable. Indeed, we also hold that the property in question is the self acquired property of plaintiff No.2 __right the property in question, which is'the self i35_ and the question of granting a decree in favour of the suit filed by defendants 2 and 3 would not arise.

32. Hence. the findings recorded by the_:i'learn'eid if trial Judge that they are not entitledifor a 1i)&arti,tion aise does not warrant for any interference. Having said we are of the view that both' consideration. The learned triaidiidge'~has 'assessed both oral and documentary and has recorded a finding of the evidence, wg different View than the .... tii..eyVV_1earned trial Judge. Consequentiy', -are dismissed.

Havingflwregard to the close relationship inter_se the plaintiffs and defendants, we deem it" six months time to the defendants to if _quit "and,.__'de!i?&er vacant possession of the suit schedule firoperty'vto the plaintiffs and such grant of time shall be _s21bj~eent to the following conditionsw 1} All the defendants shall file an undertaking before this Court agreeing to vacate the suit schedule property within six months from today;
