THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE K. SUJANA

JUDGMENT:

Challenging the judgment and decree dated 21.06.2016 passed in O.S.No.216 of 2012 by the learned XII Additional District Judge, Vikarabad, Ranga Reddy District, the present Appeal Suit is filed.

2. The brief facts of the case are that the plaintiff claimed that she and defendant No.1 were joint owners of agricultural lands measuring a total of Ac.11.00 guntas in Murthujaguda Village, Ranga Reddy District, which originally belonged to their mother, late Bomma Bagamma. She alleged that Bagamma had acquired part of the land from her maternal uncle and purchased the rest with her earnings, making it her absolute self-acquired property. After the death of Bagamma intestate, the plaintiff and defendant No.1, as her only surviving legal heirs, were entitled to equal shares. However, defendant No.1 got the property mutated solely in his name and sold Ac.2.00 guntas to defendant No.2, who in turn sold it to defendant No.3. The plaintiff contended that no partition had taken place, and the sale transactions were invalid as against her half share. She sought partition of the property into two equal shares and separate possession of her share.
