Uttam vs Saubhag Singh & Ors on 2 March, 2016
The
oral evidence of DW2, which is supported by the
documents Ex.D70 to 84 is sufficient to hold that under
the partition of the year 1952 as per Ex.D1, the
defendant No.1 got ancestral properties as his share.
The plaintiff in his plaint itself stated that his great grand
father Munivenktappa was successful businessman
during his life time and his grand father defendant No.1
N.M.Annaiah succeeded the properties of
Munivenkatappa and developed the ancestral properties
inherited from Munivenkatappa by virtue of the partition
115
O.S.No. 1990/2018
deed dated 31.032.1952 and thereafter the defendant
No.1 acquired several immovable properties from nucleus
joint family income. When there is a specific pleadings
on the side of the plaintiff as well as defendants No.1 to 3
that the defendant No.1 N.M.Annaiah who had inherited
the properties from his father Munivenkatappa and he
had developed the properties and business and acquired
immovable properties from the nucleus of joint family
income, no other proof is required to say that the
defendant No.1 after 1952 partition started to purchase
the properties out of ancestral properties income and
also from by developing the business inherited from his
father Munivenkatappa. I have gone through the
decisions cited by the learned counsel for the plaintiff
reported in 2016 4 SCC PG 68 (UTTAM VS. SAUBHAG
SINGH AND OTHERS) and judgment of Hon'ble High Court
of Karnataka reported in 2009 (2) KCCR 1206 (DB)
(SRI.K.MADHAVA RAJA NAYAK VS. SRI. K. SRIDHARA
NAYAK AND OTHERS). There is no dispute regarding
principles laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court and
Hon'ble High Court in these cited decisions. But in the
present suit the plaintiff as well as defendants No.1 to 3
116
O.S.No. 1990/2018
themselves admitted in the pleadings that the defendant
No.1 who had succeeded the ancestral properties from
his father's development including business development
and purchased the immovable property from nucleus of
joint family income, in his name and in the name of his
wife defendant No.2, in the name of defendant No.4, no
other proof is required. More than that when we
compared the documents Ex.D70 to D84 with Ex.D1
partition deed, one thing is very clear that the defendant
No.1 inherited the ancestral properties which were fallen
to the share of his father under the registered partition
deed dated 27.03.1945. The plaintiff No.1, defendant
No.5, defendants No.6 & 7 who are the grand children of
defendant No.1 are the third generation.
Rohit Chauhan vs Surinder Singh & Ors on 15 July, 2013
The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the said
judgment in para 15 by referring earlier judgment of
Hon'ble Supreme Court in ROHIT CHAUHAN VS.
SURINDER SINGH AND OTHERS, it is held that " "11. ....In
our opinion coparcenary property means the property
which consists of ancestral property and a coparcener
150
O.S.No. 1990/2018
would mean a person who shares equally with others in
inheritance in the estate of common ancestor.
Coparcenary is a narrower body than the joint Hindu
family and before the commencement of the Hindu
Succession (Amendment) Act, 2005, only male members
of the family used to acquire by birth an interest in the
coparcenary property. A coparcener has no definite share
in the coparcenary property but he has an undivided
interest in it and one has to bear in mind that it enlarges
by deaths and diminishes by births in the family. It is not
static. We are further of the opinion that so long, on
partition an ancestral property remains in the hand of a
single person, it has to be treated as a separate property
and such a person shall be entitled to dispose of the
coparcenary property treating it to be his separate
property but if a son is subsequently born, the alienation
made before the birth cannot be questioned. But, the
moment a son is born, the property becomes a
coparcenary property and the son would acquire interest
in that and become a coparcener". If this principle laid
down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court applies to the
present case, admittedly, the plaintiff No.2 born on
151
O.S.No. 1990/2018
15.11.1952 i.e. soon after partition deed dated
31.03.1952. The defendant No.4 born on 09.02.1954.
Prior to birth of plaintiff No.2 and defendant No.4 the
defendant has not alienated any of the properties fallen
to his share. The plaintiff No.1 himself in the plaint
stated that the defendant No.1 who had inherited the
property from his father developed the same and
purchased the properties in his name, in the name of his
wife, defendant No.2 and in the name of defendant No.4
out of joint family nucleus. Such pleadings of the
plaintiff No.2 made in para III (1) and (2) are admitted by
the defendant No.1 to 3 in their written statement.
Subsequently, the defendant No.3 transposed himself as
plaintiff No.2. But the fact remains, prior to birth of
plaintiff No.2 and defendant No.4, the defendant No.1 has
not alienated any of the properties fallen to his share in
the partition deed dated 31.03.1952 becomes
coparcenary properties consisting of defendant No.1,
plaintiff No.2 and defendant No.4. After the birth of
plaintiff No.1, defendants No.5 to 7 they have also
become coparceners as they are of the third generations
from N.A.Munivenkatappa.
