In Brief
Three parties jointly purchased land and filed a revenue suit under the U.P. Zamindari Abolition Act seeking declaration as co-bhumidhars. The suit was decreed, holding them jointly entitled. Later, in a separate partition suit, one party claimed only a 1/10th share. The High Court struck down this finding as perverse, because it contradicted the final decree declaring equal co-bhumidari rights and ignored the absence of any actual partition between the parties. The Supreme Court upheld this, confirming that the three parties remain equal co-bhumidhars (1/3rd share each) absent evidence of partition.", <parameter name="cited_cases">[]
