Judgement Key Points

Key Points: - The court holds that there is no applicability of Section 22 where the property came to co-heirs in a family partition and there is no devolution of interest under the Act of 1956 (Paras 11-14, 42000053850012). - The judgment notes that a separate holding number created for one co-heir after demarcation defeats the claim of unity of title and possession necessary for Section 22 applicability (42000053850007, 42000053850011). - It is observed that during the lifetime of the father, the co-heirs had their rights recognized in records, but such recognition does not establish Section 22 rights if the property was partitioned subsequently (42000053850011, 42000053850012). - The decision cites the need for devolution of interest under Section 6 before Section 22 can apply, and that mere unity of possession without devolution is insufficient (p_12, 42000053850008). - The appeal is dismissed with directions to expedite trial; observations do not prejudice pending suit (42000053850013).
