Manikayala Rao v. Narasimha Swami (AIR 1966 SC 470) - The Supreme Court clarified that a purchaser of a coparcener's undivided interest has the right only to sue for partition of the property; they are not entitled to possession of the purchased interest. The case established that the purchaser's remedy is limited to partition, and possession is not automatically granted. The decision was based on the interpretation of coparcenary rights and the nature of property interests in joint Hindu family law.

Analysis and Conclusion:
The case of Manikayala Rao v. Narasimha Swami (AIR 1966 SC 470) is a landmark judgment that delineates the limited rights of a purchaser of a coparcener’s interest, specifically emphasizing that such a purchaser’s remedy is confined to filing a suit for partition rather than claiming possession.

It remains a foundational case in Hindu property law, clarifying that ownership rights do not automatically include possession unless explicitly granted or established through other legal means.
