JUDGMENT

Hansaria, J.-Leave granted.

2. The dispute at hand relates to property bearing door Nos. 297 to 306 which once belonged to one M. Abdul Sattar and his younger brother M. Sattar. Respondent Nos. 1 and 2 herein are the daughters of M. Sattar through his first wife, the third respondent. The two appellants claimed themselves to be the offspring of M. Sattar through his second wife. They challenged a deed of settlement by the aforesaid Sattars relating to the property in favour of respondent Nos. 1 and 2 on the ground that the same had been obtained by misrepresentation, fraud and coercion. After the death of both the Sattars, the appellants filed a suit in the file of Court of Subordinate Judge, Coimbatore, claiming that they were entitled to 53 and 1/2 out of 72 shares and mesne profits. Respondents case was that the appellants are illegitimate children of M. Sattar, and so, not entitled to any share; and the settlement deed was valid. The trial Court decreed the suit, but on appeal the High Court dismissed the same holding that the appellants were not legitimate children of M. Sattar and the settlement deed was valid.
