It was further contended that Sri Linga Reddy @ Muniswamy Reddy had 4 sons and 3 daughters who are the plaintiffs and defendants 2 to 7 in the original suit. It was further contended that during the life time of the said Sri Linga Reddy @ Muniswamy Reddy, he and his sons, the defendants 1 to 4 had been living together as members of Hindu Mitakshara Coparcenary joint family governed by Hindu Mitakshara law, owning vast immoveable properties at Ballur, Bhooragunte, Thayavakanahalli village in Attibele Hobli and Sarjapura Hobli in Anekal Taluk and also in Darga Hosur village, Kasaba Hobli, Hosur Taluk in Tamil Nadu.

The married daughters ie., defendants 5 to 7 are living with their husbands and the other members are living jointly, though for some reason of misunderstanding and bickering among the women-folk, they have been living separately, since some time past, but there was no partition or division of the above said suit schedule properties - 12 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3955 RSA No. 1041 of 2023 C/W RSA No. 1023 of 2023 RSA No. 1036 of 2023 belonging to the joint family at any time during the life time of their father or even after his death. It was further contended that in the plaint even during the life time of their father, Sri Linga Reddy @ Muniswamy Reddy, he was the Karta of the above said Hindu joint family.

It is alleged that after the death of Linga Reddy @ Muniswamy Reddy he continued to be the kartha and manager of the joint family and the Katha, Pahani and other revenue records and entries in respect of the above said lands came to stand in the names of their father. 4. The second defendant had further contended in the written statement that at the time of the death of Sri Linga Reddy @ Muniswamy Reddy, all his children were married and married daughters were living with their respective husbands. It was contended that there is no such joint family as contended by the plaintiff as on the date of filing the suit. It was contended that the ancestral property of late Sri Linga Reddy was very meager and the income derived from the same was insufficient to maintain the big family of Sri Linga Reddy, as such, the second defendant had to start working in others’ lands and ultimately, he had to leave the village to earn by long physical work and out of the savings he made, he had started small business as vegetable supplier and later, he developed other business activities like Nursery, Mulberry and was able to help his father and brother and sisters and he had spent huge amounts for celebrating the marriages of his sisters in grand style, which his father would not be able to celebrate and he helped his younger brothers to get educated to university and post graduate level and also helped his - 13 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3955 RSA No. 1041 of 2023 C/W RSA No. 1023 of 2023 RSA No. 1036 of 2023 father to acquire other properties and ultimately, the father of the second defendant desired that the second defendant to settle down in his village, accordingly he settled down in the said Ballur village and it was he, out of his self-earned resources, acquired some of the suit schedule properties and the same were not acquired out of the alleged income of funds of the alleged joint family and they are self acquired properties of the second defendant. 5. 5. It was further stated that the said Linga Reddy had no such extra income to invest to acquire new properties or improve the old ancestral properties and it is submitted that the properties which were allotted to his share which even included some of the properties which he had acquired by his own earnings under a release deed executed by him, which came into existence after consultation with other members of the family of late Linga Reddy in which, it was decided that the second defendant, in view of his selfless service rendered to the family, be given the properties included in the said release deed dated 30.03.1990 registered on 01.04.1990, which included the lands which came to Linga Reddy on account of tenancy. After the said release, the second defendant had worked hard and improved the properties which had come to his share using his knowledge of working in Nursery and hard work and he has established considerable reputation and clientele as a Nursery Man in the area, as such the second defendant submits that the remaining members of the Linga Reddy’s family were fully aware of second defendant’s sacrifice and work and the said properties were given to him in the said release by his father and there was no suppression, undue influence or fraud involved in the said release. - 14 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3955 RSA No. 1041 of 2023 C/W RSA No. 1023 of 2023 RSA No. 1036 of 2023 6. In fact, the plaintiff had also participated in the discussion before the said release was registered, however, he was not available to attest the said release deed before its registration and it is submitted that this defendant had even spent huge amounts for celebrating the marriage of the plaintiff and it is submitted that the plaintiff was given properties in Survey no.142, measuring 03 acres 11 guntas, in Survey No.155, measuring 01 acre 30 guntas and it is submitted that there is a R.C.C. roofed construction, grape yard, mulberry, teak trees are in Survey No.142 and there is also a cattle shed and 3 borewells and the plaintiff has been enjoying the same exclusively for the past over 12 years and he had been carrying on milk supplying to societies and he has got a separate card for the same and the said construction, enjoys electricity and he is paying taxes to the same. The recitals of the Will make it clear that the Linga Reddy had right to cancel the Will during his lifetime clearly discloses that, he understood the implications of the Will. In fact, he has clearly mentioned the properties give to this defendant and also the plaintiff who was married by then and there is no reason to disbelieve the Will and release deed. The said Release deed and Will have been acted upon for the past over 12 years and mutation has been effected in accordance to the said release and this defendant is living separately and paying taxes separately and Krishi Pass Book was issued in the names of the defendants. It was further contended that the second defendant had acquired several properties subsequent to the suit out of his self earned source of income and the same are his self acquired properties. 7. The defendants 5 to 7 supported the case of the plaintiffs and they have sought for granting of their separate shares in the suit properties. - 15 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3955 RSA No. 1041 of 2023 C/W RSA No. 1023 of 2023 RSA No. 1036 of 2023 8. The defendants 3 and 4 have contended that a Will is executed and registered in their favour and the said properties covered under the Will are not liable to be partitioned and they have further contended that in the remaining properties they are entitled for a share. 9. The trial court was pleased to dismiss the suit after a full-fledged trial. As against the dismissal of the suit, the plaintiffs/respondents 1 to 4 herein had filed RA no.5007/2021 on the file of the III Additional District and Sessions Judge, Bengaluru Rural District sitting at Anekal. A separate appeal in RA no.5016/2021 on the file of the III Additional District and Sessions Judge, Bengaluru Rural District sitting at Anekal came to be filed by the defendant no.4/respondent no.6 herein. Yet another appeal in RA no.5002/2021 on the file of the III Additional District and Sessions Judge, Bengaluru Rural District sitting at Anekal came to be filed by defendants 5 to 7. All the above 3 appeals have since been allowed and consequently the suit came to be decreed. 10. The father of the appellants was arrayed as 2nd defendant in the suit. He died on 17.05.2023 subsequent to the judgment passed by the lower appellate court. Hence, his legal representatives being aggrieved by the Judgment and Decree of the first appellate court made in RA No.5002/2021 have filed RSA no.1036/2023, being aggrieved by the Judgement and Decree of the first appellate court in RA No.5007/2021 they have filed RSA No.1023/2023 and being aggrieved by the Judgement and Decree of the first appellate court in RA No.5016/2021 they have filed RSA No.1041/2023 on the file of this honourable court. - 16 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3955 RSA No. 1041 of 2023 C/W RSA No. 1023 of 2023 RSA No. 1036 of 2023 11. The parties admit that the said 3 Regular Second Appeals arise out of 3 different Regular Appeals but relate to the Judgment and decree rendered in the original suit. The parties are common in all the 3 Regular Appeals and Regular Second Appeals. In view of the same filing a compromise petition in one of the Appeals would suffice. In view of the same compromise petition is filed in the present RSA and the other 2 RSA’s which arise out of common judgement and decrees of the courts below may be disposed of in terms of the compromise petition filed in this appeal. 12. During the pendency of the above appeal relatives, elders in the family and well wishers have convened a joint meeting and attempts were made on various occasions to work out a settlement. After such several attempts all the parties agreed for a settlement which is in the interest of all the parties to the appeal. The learned Advocates who appear for the parties in the proceedings before the trial court, lower appellate court and this honourable court have also joined in the settlement talks and have agreed that the settlement is free, fair and is necessary to put a quietus to the long drawn litigation spanning over 24 years from now. The settlement is in the interest of all the parties. 13. All the parties were informed well in advance to co- operate in the survey work that was carried out in the process of the settlement talks and when the demarcation of shares was made, all the parties have unequivocally and unanimously agreed that the sketches drawn by the technically skilled surveyors clearly indicate the properties which have been allotted to each of the parties. The parties have agreed that the said survey sketches have been attested by each of the parties to the compromise petition admitting the contents thereof and each of the parties vouch for the - 17 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3955 RSA No. 1041 of 2023 C/W RSA No. 1023 of 2023 RSA No. 1036 of 2023 same. The said survey sketches are agreed to be treated as part of this compromise petition and have been attested by all the parties admitting the correctness of the same. 14. The appellants and the respondents submit that during the life time of Sri.

Nagaraja Reddy, the respondent no.5 and 6 herein. By virtue of said registered Release deed and Will the allottees/legatees acted upon and were/are in separate peaceful possession and enjoyment of the properties which were allotted to their respective shares. 15. As stated in this petition, during the life time of Sri. Munishami Reddy @ Sri. Linga Reddy, he settled the family properties by virtue of Release deed, will and oral settlement, in view of the same some of the parties have opted to take lesser share compared to the others out of the suit schedule properties and the same is in view of their own volition, voluntary act and free will and they are satisfied with the extent of properties that have been allotted to each of them and they have been made known that the terms of the compromise petition would not be varied or challenged under any circumstances. The parties have genuinely agreed and admitted that they would not raise any objections for not dividing the properties equally amongst all the family members. - 18 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:3955 RSA No. 1041 of 2023 C/W RSA No. 1023 of 2023 RSA No. 1036 of 2023 16.
