Sri Ranganatham vs Sri Subramaniam on 15 December, 2023
40. The decision in the case of Mallesappa Bandeppa
Desai and another Vs. Desai Mallappa alias Mallesappa and
another referred supra, lays down that "self acquisition of
coparcener blending the same with the joint family property
for the acquisition of the property by the Manager, such
acquirer has to prove that it was his self acquired property".
Obviously, the above decision is also not of much relevance
to the case of the appellant as it is not his case that
Venkataswamy was the manager of the family.
