S. No. 425/ 1989 filed by the plaintiff for partition and separate possession of the suit schedule properties. On the basis of the respective claim and the counter claim of the parties, the trial Court determined the rights of the parties which existed as on the date and passed preliminary decree in terms of S. 2 (2) r/w Order 20 Rule 18 sub-rule (2) of the code of Civil Procedure. Against the said preliminary decree, the defendants filed R. A. No. 69/1992 under S. 96 of the Code of Civil procedure.

Since, the said second appeal was barred by limitation and therefore, an application was filed by the appellants therein seeking for condonation of delay in filing the said appeal. This court rejected the application for condonation of delay by its order dated 1-10-1999 and therefore, the preliminary decree passed in o. S. No. 425/1989 by the trial Court became final.

The learned trial Judge, on the basis of the rival contentions urged by the learned Counsel for the parties has formulated the points for his consideration as to whether defendant No. 6 is entitled for enhanced share in the Joint family properties in view of the Hindu Succession (Karnataka Amendment) Act of 1990. The learned counsel appearing for the parties addressed arguments making their respective submissions on the aforesaid points. The trial Court after referring to various undisputed facts and considering the amended provision of S. 6-A of the Act referred to supra, which provision came into force with effect from 28-7-1994 and also referred to S. 322, definition of partition from mullas Hindu Law, Seventeenth Edition by satyajeet-A-Desai at Page 515, has recorded its findings with its cogent valid reasons and answered the points against defendant No. 6 and rejected the application by passing the impugned order,
