THIS APPEAL, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY, JUDGMENT WAS DELIVERED THEREIN AS UNDER: - 6 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:53094 RSA No. 20 of 2024 CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.P.SANDESH ORAL JUDGMENT This second appeal is filed only in respect of proportionate of share is concerned. Originally the propositus of the family is Byarappa who having two children viz., Gorlappa and Muniyappa and the property has to be divided between the two persons i.e., Gorlappa and Muniyappa equally. Gorlappa and Muniappa are entitled for equal share i.e., half share. 2. Now, the suit is filed in respect of Muniyappa branch is concerned. The said Muniyappa is having two wives viz., Muniakkayamma and Venkatamma (defendant No.1). The first wife i.e., Muniakkayamma is having 4 children viz., Doddabyramma, Venkatamma, Akkyamma and Byramma. The second wife i.e., Venkatamma is having 3 children viz., Sonnamma, Byramma and Pillamma. 3. Now, the issue between the parties is with regard to the entitlement of share is concerned. There is no dispute with regard to the relationship between the parties is concerned. The first wife’s first daughter – Doddabyramma is no more and she is having two children viz., Chikkavenkatarayappa and - 7 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:53094 RSA No. 20 of 2024 Kyathamma. Kyathamma is alive and arrayed as defendant No.9 and Chikkavenkatarayappa is no more and his legal representatives are defendant Nos.4 to 8. Defendant Nos.4 to 8 represents the share of Chikkavenkatarayappa. The Akkyamma having two children viz., Byrappa and Chikkaveerappa. Byrappa is no more. Defendant Nos.11 to 14 represents the shares of Byrappa. Chikkaveerappa is alive and he has arrayed as defendant No.15. These two branches equally entitled for a share of Akkyamma. 4. The other daughter of first wife is Byramma. Byramma has got the two children viz., Sriramappa and Channakrishnamma i.e., plaintiff No.1(a) and (b) and they represent the share of Byramma. 5. The Sonnamma is the first daughter of second wife of Muniyappa. Sonnamma is alive and arrayed as defendant No.2 and subsequently, passed away and hence, defendant Nos.2(a) to (f) represent the branch of Sonnamma and they are entitled for share of Sonnamma. - 8 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:53094 RSA No. 20 of 2024 6. The other daughter of second wife of Muniyamma is Byramma who got married to Chikkavenkatarayappa is also no more and hence, Byramma's share goes to defendant Nos.4 to 8. Hence, defendant Nos.4 to 8 also entitled for share of Byramma as well as the share of Chikkavenkatarayappa if there was a marriage between them and they belonged to same family. 7. Pillamma is arrayed as defendant No.3 who is the another daughter of Venkatamma i.e., the second wife of Muniyappa and she is entitled for 1/3rd share of Venkatamma. 8. Now, the counsel appearing for respondent Nos.1(a) and 2 would contend that whether Chikkavenkatarayappa had married the Byramma or not and the same has to be clarified. If the said Byramma who is the second daughter of Venkatamma of the second wife of Muniyappa got married the Chikkavenkatarayappa, who is the son of Doddabyramma, then only defendant Nos.4 to 8 are entitled for share in the property of Byramma and Chikkavenkatarayappa. If the Byramma not married the Chikkavenkatarayappa i.e., the son of Doddabyramma, then - 9 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:53094 RSA No. 20 of 2024 defendant Nos.4 to 8 are not entitled for the share of Byramma. The Trial Court did not grant any share in favour of defendant Nos.4 to 8 who represents the branch of Chikkavenkatrayappa. Hence, this order is modified. The grievance of the appellants in this second appeal is also that the share of Chikkavenkatarayappa was not given to defendant Nos.4 to 8. Hence the same is clarified in this second appeal. Except this, no other issue involved between the parties. Thus, the second appeal is disposed of. 9. In view of dismissal of the main appeal, I.A. if any, does not survive for consideration and the same stands dismissed. Sd/- (H.P.SANDESH) JUDGE SN
