THIS
WRIT
PETITION
COMING
ON
FOR
PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE
THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
The petitioner's application in FDP No.01/2010 on
the file of the Principal Civil Judge and JMFC, Anekal
(for short, 'the civil Court') is rejected by the impugned
order dated 26.11.2021. The civil Court by this
impugned order has not only rejected the petitioner's
application for enlargement of shares granted in terms
of the preliminary decree confirmed in an appeal by this
Court but has also directed drawing up of final decree in
terms of the sketch filed by the Commissioner along
with his report dated 22.04.2019. The petitioner's
application, which is for enlargement of shares based on
the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Vineeta
Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma reported in 2020 (9) SCC
1, is rejected solely on the ground that the petitioner
4
has not produced any documents to show that she was
born prior to 1956.
Sri Fayaz Sab B.G., the learned counsel for the
petitioner, submits that the petitioner is brought on
record in the original proceedings on the demise of
Sri.Ele Nanjappa and even as of the date she was
brought on record, as is obvious from the preliminary
decree, the petitioner was aged 27 years and if this
remains indisputable, it would be beyond cavil that the
petitioner is born after 1956. The petitioner9s case is
that the civil Court has not considered the material on
record in arriving at its conclusion that the petitioner
has failed to establish that she was born after 1956 or
that the preliminary decree must be revisited in view of
the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Vineeta
Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma supra.
5
The proceedings are pending from the year 1989
without culmination and if there would be a stay of
further proceedings on the grounds now urged, the
protraction would only be exaggerated. In the light of
the above and because the petitioner contends the
material facts are not considered, this Court is of the
considered view that the petition must be disposed of
with liberty to the petitioner to file an application for
review of the impugned order and calling upon the civil
Court to consider the same in the light of the decision of
the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Vineeta Sharma v.
Rakesh Sharma.
The petition stands disposed of with such liberty.
