This appeal is filed by the plaintiff questioning

the finding of the trial Court in respect of item at Sl.No.3

of schedule 8A9 property i.e. 1 acre of land bearing

Sy.No.214/2C2P.

- 3 -

The main contention of the plaintiff before the

trial Court is that defendant Nos.3 and 4 are his sisters

and defendant No.2 is his father and defendant No.1 is the

purchaser of item at Sl.No.3 of the property. Defendant

No.3 is the married sister and defendant No.4 is still

unmarried. The said property belongs to the joint family

and defendant No.2 got share of certain agricultural lands

and house properties described in schedule 8A9 and 8B9 for

family partition. The plaintiff9s uncle had instituted

O.S.No.19/87, the said was compromised. The properties

are ancestral properties and defendant No.2 had sold

property in favour of defendant No.1 on 13.10.1988 and

by that time plaintiff and defendant Nos.3 and 4 were

minors and sale was made not for any family necessity or

for any joint family benefit.
