JUDGMENT :
Ashok S. Kinagi, J.
1. Aggrieved by the judgment and decree dated 07.03.2005, passed in O.S.No. 480/1999 by the Principal Civil Judge (Jr Dn.) & JMFC, Tumkur, confirmed by the judgment and decree dated 01.04.2011, passed in R.A.No. 175/2007 by the I Additional District Judge, Tumkur, the appellants have filed this second appeal.
2. Parties are referred to as per their ranking before the trial Court. The appellants are the defendants 1 to 6 and respondent No. 1 is the plaintiff, respondents No. 2 to 9 are defendants 7 to 14 before the trial Court.
3. The brief facts leading rise to filing of this appeal are as under:
Previous family partition and lack of joint family status preclude the plaintiff from claiming coparcenary rights under Hindu law amendments.
A partition suit must prove ancestral status of properties; claims of prior partition require corroborative evidence, which was insufficient in this case.
Daughters have equal rights as sons in ancestral property under the Hindu Succession Act, 2005, regardless of prior claims of partition.
The court reaffirmed that daughters have equal rights as sons in ancestral properties, emphasizing the applicability of Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act.
The plaintiff must prove the existence of a joint family nucleus to establish claims over joint family properties; mere relation does not imply entitlement.
