3. Defendant in OS No.252/2013 is the appellant in this appeal challenging the validity of the judgment and decree passed in RA No.245/2019 whereby, the judgment and decree passed in OS No.252/2013 is reversed and the suit of the plaintiffs came to be decreed as prayed for.
4. Facts in the nutshell for the disposal of the present appeal are as under:

Ownership claims regarding vested land under the Inam Abolition Act are extinguished, prioritizing legal admissions made during tribunal proceedings over prior private documents.
The court reinforced the necessity for plaintiffs to substantiate property claims with sufficient evidence, particularly in disputes involving Inam lands.
Timely application under the Mysore (Personal and Miscellaneous) Inams Abolition Act is mandatory for claiming occupancy rights; failure to comply extinguishes any entitlement.
Occupancy rights in joint family property, though granted to one member, benefit the entire joint family, reaffirming joint interests despite claims of individual ownership.
Married daughters are entitled to share in tenanted property as recognized legal heirs under the Karnataka Land Reforms Act, contrary to previous interpretations.
The court concluded that re-granted lands to an individual from a joint family shall benefit all family members, allowing junior members to seek partition under personal law.
Point of Law : Civil Law – Suit for partition - Unauthorised occupant of a Government land - Possession is not title only against those who are having better right or title. Possessory title is herit....
The burden of proof lies with the plaintiff to establish ownership and title in property disputes, and a failure to present adequate evidence will result in dismissal of the claim.
