Analysis and Conclusion:
The key insight from the 1978 Rajasthan decisions is that the earlier judgment in Shiv Dan Singh (1977 RRD 233), which barred children from filing partition suits during the father's lifetime, has been overruled by the Court. Consequently, the legal stance now recognizes that such suits can be filed, and previous rulings based on Shiv Dan Singh are no longer applicable. The Court emphasized distinguishing cases based on their facts and clarified that partition on equal shares does not constitute a transfer. These rulings collectively refine the legal understanding of property partition and revenue rulings in Rajasthan during that period.
