The court held that the suit filed by the plaintiffs for declaration, partition, and permanent injunction is not maintainable because the plaintiffs, being the son and daughter of the defendant, do not have the right to claim partition or share in the ancestral property during the lifetime of the Bhumiswami (owner).
