THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR ADMISSION, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.P.SANDESH - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41225 RSA No. 2006 of 2021 ORAL JUDGMENT The order sheet discloses that on 15.07.2024, at the request of the counsel for the appellant, the case was adjourned for two weeks on cost of Rs.2,000/- and even in spite of cost was imposed and same was paid, today again the proxy counsel seeks time in the afternoon session. In the morning session when page wise case was called, the proxy counsel requested for an adjournment but this Court declined to grant time. 2. This second appeal is filed against the concurrent finding. The suit was filed for the relief of partition and separate possession claiming that the plaintiff is the legal heir of one Venkataramaiah and they are the members of Hindu undivided joint family and suit schedule property is an ancestral and joint family property. Defendant Nos.1, 3 to 6 have taken the defence in the written statement that the plaintiff is the stranger to their family and not the daughter of Venkataramaiah and they have succeeded to the property of Venkataramaiah under a family partition. Trial Court also framed additional issues that whether defendant Nos.1 to 6 - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41225 RSA No. 2006 of 2021 prove that plaintiff is not the daughter of Venkataramaiah and whether defendant Nos.1 to 6 further prove that defendant Nos.1 to 5 subsequent to the partition by Venkataramaiah have further partitioned the properties. The Trial Court having considered both oral and documentary evidence placed on record answered issue No.1 as negative in coming to the conclusion that plaintiff and defendants are not the members of the Hindu undivided divided joint family and the suit schedule property is not an ancestral property and also accepted the defence of the defendants that plaintiff is not the daughter of Venkataramaiah and already there was a partition and already there was a further partition among the defendants and dismissed the suit. 3. Being aggrieved by the said judgment and decree of the Trial Court, an appeal was filed in R.A.No.21/2021. The First Appellate Court also having reassessed both oral and documentary evidence available on record, formulated the point that whether the Trial Court erred in coming to the conclusion that the plaintiff was not the daughter of Venkataramaiah and whether the trial Court failed to appreciate both oral and documentary evidence in proper perspective and - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41225 RSA No. 2006 of 2021 whether judgment and decree of the trial Court requires interference. The First Appellate Court having reassessed both the oral and documentary evidence on record comes to the conclusion that the Trial Court has not committed any error in coming to the conclusion that plaintiff was not the daughter of Venkataramaiah and answered the Point Nos.2 to 4 as negative. Being aggrieved by the concurrent finding of both the Courts, the present second appeal is filed before this Court. 4. The main contention of the counsel appearing for the appellant that the judgment and decree of the Trial Court is capricious and not sustainable under law and findings of both the Courts are contrary to the evidence and material on record. Though the counsel for the appellant indicated the substantive question of law contending that the judgment and decree of the Trial Court is erroneous, capricious and not appreciated the material on record, not suggested any substantive question of law except the facts and also there is a concurrent finding with regard to the factual aspects that plaintiff is not proved that she is a daughter of one Venkataramaiah producing any documentary proof. On the other hand, the defendants proved that the plaintiff is not the daughter of Venkataramaiah. When - 8 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41225 RSA No. 2006 of 2021 such being the case, I do not find any ground to admit the appeal and frame the substantive question of law invoking Section 100 of CPC. 5. In view of the discussions made above, I pass the following: ORDER The second appeal is dismissed. Sd/- (H.P.SANDESH) JUDGE SN
