Supreme Court on Ancestral Property

Issue for Consideration: The central issue is whether the High Court was correct in upholding the dismissal of the appellant's partition suit by the Single Judge under Order XII Rule 6 of the CPC. The Court had to determine if the suit was maintainable in light of previous decrees and admissions made by the parties in earlier litigations concerning the same properties, and whether the plaint disclosed a valid cause of action for a fresh partition.
