Joint ownership claims persist until partition; rights in a partition suit are not bound by limitation, and the burden to prove legal necessity for property transfer lies with the transferee.
The burden of proof to establish property as self-acquired rests on the party asserting so, once a joint family nucleus is established, underscoring the necessity of evidence to support claims.
