                                               COMMON JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was delivered by R.SUBRAMANIAN, J.)

These Appeals have been posted together since a common

question relating to validity of a document styled as a Partition Deed

dated 29.05.1961, entered into between the parties to these Appeals,

arises for consideration in both the appeals.

2. The facts leading to the Appeals are as follows:

One Muthiyalu Naicker, had two sons Periya Mara Naicker and

Mara Naicker. They constituted a joint Hindu family and it was

possessed of various properties. Periya Mara Naicker had three sons by

name Periya Chenna Naicker, Mutha Naicker and Chenna Naicker. Mara

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Naicker had one son by name Mutha Naicker and a daughter

Rangammal. Two sons of Periya Mara Naicker viz. Periya Chenna

Naicker and Mutha Naicker launched a suit in OS No.68 of 2007 seeking

partition and separate possession of their 4/16th share in the suit

properties, claiming that as per the Registered Deed of Partition dated

29.05.1961, the branch of Periya Mara Naicker was allotted 3/4th share

in the suit properties and 1/4th share was allotted to the branch of Mara

Naicker, the younger brother.

3. The entire suit was based on the registered document dated

29.05.1961 and it was in respect of two items of properties situate in

MettuNasuvanpalayam Village, Erode District. One son of Periya Mara

Naicker viz. Chenna Naicker was made the first defendant in that suit.

The son of Mara Naicker viz. Mutha Naicker was the fourth defendant

and Rangammal daughter of Mara Naicker was the seventh defendant.

While defendants 2 and 3 are the children of Chenna Naicker, the

defendants 5, 6 and 8 are the children of Mutha Naicker. Since one of

the sons of Mutha Naicker, by name Chenna Naicker died his wife

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Rajammal was impleaded as the ninth defendant.

4. This suit was resisted by the defendants therein including

Chenna Naicker one of the sons of Periya Mara Naicker, contending that

there was no partition under the document dated 29.05.1961. The

plaintiffs were put to strict proof of their claim that there was a partition

on 29.05.1961 and there was a division of properties under the said

instrument. It was also contended that Periya Mara Naicker and Mara

Naicker died within a very short span of time, about 30 years prior to the

suit and soon after the death of the brothers, the parties had divided the

properties orally by metes and bounds and have been in enjoyment of

their respective shares. Mutation of the Revenue Records was also

effected.

5. The seventh defendant Rangammal filed a two paragraph

written statement contending that the pleadings in the plaint are false and

she paid Court fee for allotment of her share in the properties.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

6. On the above pleadings, the Trial Court framed the following

issues:

1.Whether the partition was effected between the

parties soon after the death of the plaintiff’s father;

2.Whether the 1stdefendant has effected

improvements in the property allotted to him;

3.Whether mutation has been effected by the

Revenue authorities to the divided properties;

4.Whether the plaintiffs are entitled for a decree

for partition;

5. To what reliefs the plaintiffs are entitled to?

7. At trial on the side of the plaintiffs, the first plaintiff was

examined as P.W.1 and Exhibits A1 to A11 were marked. The fourth

defendant viz. Mutha Naicker was examined as D.W.1 and the seventh

defendant Rangammal was examined as D.W.2. No documents were

produced on the side of the defendants.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

8. The Trial Court on a consideration of the evidence came to the

conclusion that Ex.A1 Partition Deed dated 29.05.1961 cannot be termed

as a partition, since there is no division of properties by metes and

bounds. The document does not disclose an actual division and hence

the same is not valid. The Trial Court also disbelieved the theory of oral

partition as claimed, but, however, chose to dismiss the suit in its entirety

on the ground that the suit is bad for partial partition, since the properties

situate in another Village viz. Nallagoundanpalayam were not included.

This judgment and decree are under challenge at the instance of the

plaintiffs in the said suit.

9. Another suit in OS No.262 of 2010 was filed by one of the sons

of Periya Mara Naicker viz. Mutha Naicker for partition and separate

possession of his 4/16th share in the properties that are situate at

Nallagoundenpalayam again based on the said Partition Deed dated

29.05.1961. In that suit, the first plaintiff in OS No.68 of 2007 viz. the

partition suit relating to the properties at Mettunasuvanpalayam was

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

impleaded as the first defendant and the other defendants were also

shown as defendants in the said suit.

10. The first defendant filed a separate written statement in the

said suit denying the partition dated 29.05.1961. The other defendants

also took a similar plea. It was also contended that the suit was bad for

partial partition. The tenth defendant filed a separate written statement.

11. On the pleadings, the Trial Court framed the following issues:

1.Whether the suit is bad for non-joinder of

necessary parties;

2.Whether the description of suit properties is

correct;

3.Whether the Partition Deed dated 29.05.1961

is true, valid and acted upon;

4.Whether the claim that there is a change in the

survey numbers is correct:

5.Whether the plaintiffs are in joint possession of

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

the suit properties;

6.Whether the plaintiffs are entitled to a decree

as prayed for;

7. To what reliefs the plaintiffs are entitled to?

Following additional issues were framed subsequently on 09.03.2010:

1.whether it is correct to contend that the

Partition Deed dated 29.05.1961 will not bind the 11th

defendant;

2.whether the properties were purchased out of

the income from the ancestral properties;

3.Whether the Eleventh defendant is entitled to

the share in the suit properties; and

4.Whether the suit is bad for partial partition.

12. At trial in the said suit, the first plaintiff Mutha Naicker was

examined as P.W.1 and the second plaintiff Palanisamy was examined as

P.W.2, Exhibits A1 to A15 were marked. The third defendant Muthu

Naicker was examined as D.W.1 and Exhibits B1 to B10 were marked.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

13. The learned Trial Judge concluded that as per the Partition

Deed dated 29.05.1961, the plaintiffs would be entitled to 4/16th share,

while upholding the said partition. A preliminary decree was also

granted. Aggrieved the defendants preferred an Appeal in AS No.8 of

2013. The learned Appellate Judge on the contentions of the parties

framed the following points for determination:

1.Whether the suit is bad for partial partition;

2.Whether the suit is not maintainable in view of

non-joinder of necessary parties;

3.Whether the plaintiffs are entitled to a share

as claimed in the plaint.

14. The learned Appellate Judge held that the suit is not bad for

partial partition, he also came to the conclusion that the suit is not bad

for non-joinder of necessary parties and on the above findings, confirmed

the conclusions of the learned Trial Judge and dismissed the appeal,

hence the Second Appeal.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

15. The following questions of law were framed for determination

in the Second Appeal.

a. Whether the Courts below are right in

decreeing the suit when the claim of partial partition

is forbidden under the law;

b. Whether the Courts below are right in

decreeing the suit when the suit itself is not

maintainable for non-joinder for necessary parties;

c. Whether the Courts below are right in

holding that Ex.A1 is acted upon without proper and

necessary evidence for the same.

16. We must at the outset point out that wholly unsatisfactory

manner in which the suits have been handled by the lawyers in the Trial

Court as well as the Appellate Court. Same counsel has appeared for the

plaintiffs in both the suits viz. OS No.68 of 2007 and OS. No.263 of

2007. Both the suits have been filed in very closed proximity, while OS

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

No. 68 of 2007 has been filed on 19.04.2007 and OS No.263 of 2007 has

been filed on 31.07.2007. Both the suits were filed before the Additional

District Court, but subsequently OS No.263 of 2007 was transferred to

Sub Court due to the enhancement of the pecuniary jurisdiction of the

Sub Court. Even at that time steps should have been taken to club both

the suits, since the same issue was involved in both the suits. That was

not done.

17. The first plaintiff in OS No.68 of 2007, who is the first

defendant in OS No.263 of 2010, takes conflicting stands. While he

seeks a decree for partition based on the Partition Deed dated 29.05.1961

in OS No.68 of 2007, he filed the written statement in OS No.263 of

2007 denying the Partition. Fortunately, he is not represented in the

second appeal before us by another counsel which would have put us in

an unwanted predicament. It is also stated that there is another suit filed

by the daughter of Mara Naicker viz. Rangammal, the seventh defendant

in OS No.68 of 2007 and the Eleventh defendant in OS No.263 of 2017,

seeking partition and it is stated to be pending.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

18. While the Trial Court in OS No.68 of 2017 had held that there

was no partition by metes and bounds and therefore, the document dated

29.05.1961 cannot be treated as a partition, the Court in OS No.263 of

2017 accepted the said instrument, based on a joint written statement

filed by the parties in a suit filed by third parties. This finding relating to

validity of the instrument dated 29.05.1961 is based on a joint written

statement filed by the plaintiffs and the defendants in these suits in

another suit filed by a third-party in OS No.98 of 2005. It was held that

they are estopped from questioning the document after having admitted

the same in earlier proceedings.

19. Be that as it may, the change in the law as to entitlement of

daughters to a share in the ancestral property brought about by the

amendment of Section 6 by the Amending Act 39 of 2005, has not been

taken note of by any of the Courts while disposing of either the suit or

the Appeal.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

20. The Appellate Court in AS No.8 of 2013 has not framed any

issue regarding the status of Rangammal, who figured as the ninth

respondent in the Appeal. The learned District Judge had gone on to

uphold the document on the ground that it will be covered by the proviso

to Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act as amended by Act 39 of 2005.

We find that the said finding may not be sustainable in view of the fact

that there was no partition by metes and bounds under the document

dated 29.05.1961. We will advert to this fact a little later.

21. We have heard Mr.N.Manokaran, learned counsel appearing

for the appellants in AS No.1016 of 2012 and respondents 1, 2 & 3 in the

Second Appeal No.443 of 2015, Mr.M.Guruprasad, learned counsel

appearing for the respondents 4, 5 and 6 in AS No.1016 of 2012 and the

appellants in the Second Appeal and Mr.K.Vasanthanayagan, learned

counsel appearing for Ms.KavyaSilambanan, for the seventh respondent

in the second appeal.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

22. While Mr.N.Manokaran, learned counsel would vehemently

contend that the document in Ex.A1 dated 29.05.1961 is a valid

instrument which declares the rights of the parties and the parties having

entered into an understanding by way of a registered instrument are

bound by the same. He would also point out that in the written statement

filed in OS No.98 of 2005, the defendants in both the suits viz. OS No.68

of 2007 and OS No.263 of 2007 had taken the plea that the partition

dated 29.05.1961 is valid. The learned counsel would also further

contend that since the partition has taken place even during the life time

of Mara Naicker, son of Muthiyalu Naicker, Rangammal cannot seek to

reopen the partition.

23. Contending contra, Mr.M.Guruprasad, learned counsel

appearing for the respondents would submit that Ex.A1 dated 29.05.1961

cannot be treated as a partition that would fall under the proviso to

Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, which reads as follows:

“Provided that nothing contained in this sub-

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

section shall affect or invalidate any disposition or

alienation including any partition or testamentary

disposition of property which had taken place before the

20th day of December, 2004.”

Explanation to the said Section regarding the meaning of the word

“partition” appearing in the proviso is as follows:

“Explanation.-For the purposes of this section

“partition” means any partition made by execution of a

deed of partition duly registered under the Registration

Act, 1908 (16 of 1908) or partition effected by a decree of

a court.”

24. Mr.M.Guruprasad, learned counsel, would submit that Ex.A1

is not a partition by itself since it is not a partition by metes and bound.

He would also invite our attention to the judgment of the Hon’ble

Supreme Court in S.Sai Reddy vs. S.Narayana Reddy and others,

reported in (1991) 3 SCC 647, wherein a similar expression appearing in

Section 29-A of the Hindu Succession Act, Andra Pradesh Amendment,

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

was considered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and it was held that in

order to come within the exception the partition should be by metes and

bounds and a preliminary decree for partition will not satisfy the

requirements of the proviso to Section 29-A. While doing so, the

Hon’ble Supreme Court observed as follows:

“7. The question that falls for our consideration is whether the preliminary decree has the effect of depriving respondents 2 to 5 of the benefits of the amendment. The learned counsel placed reliance on clause (iv) of Section 29-A to support his contention that it does. Clause (ii) of the section provides that a daughter shall be allotted share like a son in the same manner treating her to be a son at the partition of the joint family property. However, the legislature was conscious that prior to the enforcement of the amending Act, partitions will already have taken place in some families and arrangements with regard to the disposition of the properties would have been made and marriage expenses would have been incurred etc. The legislature, therefore, did not want to unsettle the settled positions. Hence, it enacted clause (iv) providing that clause (ii) would not apply to a

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

daughter married prior to the partition or to a partition which had already been effected before the commencement of the amending Act. Thus if prior to the partition of family property a daughter had been married, she was disentitled to any share in the property. Similarly, if the partition had been effected before September 5, 1985 the date on which the amending Act came into force, the daughter even though unmarried was not given a share in the family property. The crucial question, however, is as to when a partition can be said to have been effected for the purposes of the amended provision. A partition of the joint Hindu family can be effected by various modes, viz., by a family settlement, by a registered instrument of partition, by oral arrangement by the parties, or by a decree of the court. When a suit for partition is filed in a court, a preliminary decree is passed determining shares of the members of the family. The final decree follows, thereafter, allotting specific properties and directing the partition of the immovable properties by metes and bounds. Unless and until the final decree is passed and the allottees of the shares are put in possession of the respective property, the partition is not complete. The preliminary decree which

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

determines shares does not bring about the final partition. For, pending the final decree the shares themselves are liable to be varied on account of the intervening events. In the instant case, there is no dispute that only a preliminary decree had been passed and before the final decree could be passed the amending Act came into force as a result of which clause (ii) of Section 29-A of the Act became applicable. This intervening event which gave shares to respondents 2 to 5 had the effect of varying shares of the parties like any supervening development. Since the legislation is beneficial and placed on the statute book with the avowed object of benefitting women which is a vulnerable section of the society in all its stratas, it is necessary to give a liberal effect to it. For this reason also, we cannot equate the concept of partition that the legislature has in mind in the present case with a mere severance of the status of the joint family which can be effected by an expression of a mere desire by a family member to do so. The partition that the legislature has in mind in the present case is undoubtedly a partition completed in all respects and which has brought about an irreversible situation. A preliminary decree which merely declares shares

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

which are themselves liable to change does not bring about any irreversible situation. Hence, we are of the view that unless a partition of the property is effected by metes and bounds, the daughters cannot be deprived of the benefits conferred by the Act. Any other view is likely to deprive a vast section of the fair sex of the benefits conferred by the amendmen.(emphasis supplied). Spurious family settlements, instruments of partitions not to speak of oral partitions will spring up and nullify the beneficial effect of the legislation depriving a vast section of women of its benefits.”

25. A reading of the document that has been placed before us viz.

Ex.A1 dated 29.05.1961 shows that it is just declaration of shares and

there has been no partition by metes and bounds. In order to have the

benefit of the proviso to Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, there

should have been a partition by metes and bounds and a mere declaration

of shares in the form of a preliminary decree or in the form of a

registered instrument would not suffice. In Vineeta Sharma V. Rakesh

Sharma, reported in 2020 (9) SCC 1, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

clarified the law relating to the entitlement of a daughter as a coparcener

and in paragraph 137, the Hon’ble Supreme Court held as follows:

“137.1. The provisions contained in substituted

Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 confer

status of coparcener on the daughter born before or

after the amendment in the same manner as son with

same rights and liabilities.

137.2. The rights can be claimed by the

daughter born earlier with effect from 9-9-2005 with

savings as provided in Section 6(1) as to the

disposition or alienation, partition or testamentary

disposition which had taken place before the 20th day

of December, 2004.

137.3. Since the right in coparcenary is by

birth, it is not necessary that father coparcener

should be living as on 9-9-2005.

137.4. The statutory fiction of partition created

by the proviso to Section 6 of the Hindu Succession

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Act, 1956 as originally enacted did not bring about

the actual partition or disruption of coparcenary. The

fiction was only for the purpose of ascertaining share

of deceased coparcener when he was survived by a

female heir, of Class I as specified in the Schedule to

the 1956 Act or male relative of such female. The

provisions of the substituted Section 6 are required to

be given full effect. Notwithstanding that a

preliminary decree has been passed, the daughters

are to be given share in coparcenary equal to that of

a son in pending proceedings for final decree or in an

appeal.

137.5. In view of the rigour of provisions of the

Explanation to Section 6(5) of the 1956 Act, a plea of

oral partition cannot be accepted as the statutory

recognised mode of partition effected by a deed of

partition duly registered under the provisions of the

Registration Act, 1908 or effected by a decree of a

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

court. However, in exceptional cases where plea of

oral partition is supported by public documents and

partition is finally evinced in the same manner as if it

had been affected (sic effected) by a decree of a court,

it may be accepted. A plea of partition based on oral

evidence alone cannot be accepted and to be rejected

outrightly.”

26. Though the Hon’ble Supreme Court concluded that in view of

the explanation to Section 6(5) of the Hindu Succession Act, oral

partition cannot be accepted as a statutory recognized mode of partition,

it however, made an exception that the plea an oral partition supported

by public documents and partition is finally evinced in the same manner

as it has been effected by a decree of Court, it may be accepted.

Therefore, it may now be open to the parties to show that there was an

oral partition which had in fact effected in a division by metes and

bounds followed by mutation of Revenue records, but, at the same time,

merely because there is a registered instrument, the same may not be

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

sufficient to exclude the operation of the main Section 6 of the Hindu

Succession Act, and bring the parties within the proviso to Section 6, as

what is contemplated is an actual division of the properties by metes and

bounds, as pointed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in S.Sai Reddy vs.

S.Narayana Reddy and others.

27. Once it is concluded that the partition dated 29.05.1961 will

not be a partition as contemplated under proviso to Section 6(5) of the

Hindu Succession Act, then the seventh defendant in OS No.68 of 2007

would be entitled to ignore the partition and seek a declaration of her

share in the property. We find that she had paid Court Fee also. We

therefore, conclude that Ex.A1 cannot be held to be a valid partition in

order to enable the other parties to exclude the seventh defendant’s claim

as a coparcener. Once we conclude that the Partition dated 29.05.1961 is

not binding on the seventh defendant and it suffers the vice of being an

inconclusive instrument not resulting in a complete division of the

properties naturally a decree for partition must follow.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

28. We therefore, answer the question of law (c) framed in Second

Appeal No. 443 of 2015, which reads as follows:

“c. Whether the Courts below are right in

holding that Ex.A1 is acted upon without proper and

necessary evidence for the same.”

in favour of the appellants therein and conclude that the said partition

cannot be acted upon. In the light of the said finding, it is not necessary

for us to answer the other two questions of law.

29. In fine, the Second Appeal in SA No.443 of 2015 will stand

allowed, the First Appeal No.1016 of 2012 will also stand allowed. The

dismissal of the suit in OS No.68 of 2007 will be set aside. There will be

a preliminary decree for partition in respect of the properties covered by

both the suits.

30. We shall now work out the shares that the parties would be

entitiled to. Muthiyalu Naicker, the original ancestor died leaving behind

two sons, each of them would be entitled to a half share in the properties.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

Upon the death of Periya Mara Naicker, his half share would devolve on

his three sons viz. Periya Chenna Naicker, Mutha Naicker and Chenna

Naicker. The half share of Mara Naicker would devolve on his son

Mutha Naicker and a daughter Rangammal equally. Therefore, the two

plaintiffs in OS No.68 of 2007 viz. Periya Chenna Naicker and Mutha

Naicker would each be entitled to 1/6th share and the first defendant

would be entitled to 1/6th share. The fourth defendant would be entitled

to 1/4th share and the seventh defendant Rangammal would be entitled to

1/4th share. It is stated that Mutha Naicker/the second plaintiff in OS

No.68 of 2007 is no more, his 1/6th share will devolve on the plaintiffs 3,

4 and 5 equally.

31. In fine, there will be a preliminary decree declaring the 1/6 th

share each of plaintiffs 1 and 2 and the first defendant in OS No. 68 of

2007 and the 1/4th share of Rangammal, the seventh defendant. There

will be a preliminary decree for partition in OS No.263 of 2007

renumbered as OS No.262 of 2010 declaring 1/6th share of the first

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis

plaintiff therein. It will be open to the other sharers to pay Court Fee

and have their shares declared as pointed out earlier.

32. It will be open to the third-party purchaser to claim equity in

the final decree proceedings, if he is a purchaser prior to the suit.

Considering the relation between the parties, we do not impose any costs.

Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
