OF 2005\n                  ---------------------------\n              DATED THIS THE 19TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2009\n\n                             JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n<p>             The lst defendant in O.S.No.344\/93 on the file of the<\/p>\n<p>Sub Court, Kottayam is the appellant. The appeal is directed<\/p>\n<p>against the judgment and decree dated 6\/6\/1998. The suit was<\/p>\n<p>filed for partition. The plaint schedule property having an extent<\/p>\n<p>of one acre and virivu belonged to late Chacko. The lst plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>is the wife of late Chacko, the 2nd plaintiff is their daughter and<\/p>\n<p>the lst defendant is the son of late Chacko born through his first<\/p>\n<p>wife. It is the plaintiff&#8217;s case that the deceased Chacko married<\/p>\n<p>the lst plaintiff on 30\/5\/1960 and Chacko died on 30\/5\/1972. The<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs claimed 2\/3 share over the plaint schedule property.<\/p>\n<p>The trial court passed a preliminary decree dividing the property<\/p>\n<p>into three equal shares and declared that the plaintiffs are entitled<\/p>\n<p>to get 2\/3 share and the lst defendant is entitled to get 1\/3 share.<\/p>\n<p>             2. The lst defendant resisted the suit contending that<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                               -2-<\/span><br \/>\nA.S.No.707\/1999<\/p>\n<p>he was cultivating the property for the last number of years, that<\/p>\n<p>late Chacko became a T.B. patient in the year 1950 and therefore<\/p>\n<p>he could not do any work and that it was this defendant, who<\/p>\n<p>cultivated and improved the property and effected valuable<\/p>\n<p>improvements by planting coconut trees, arecanut trees, jack<\/p>\n<p>trees, teak trees, pepper wines, rubber trees etc. According to<\/p>\n<p>him, he has constructed kayyalas on all sides and put up a<\/p>\n<p>residential building worth not less than Rs.2 = lakhs. After the<\/p>\n<p>construction of the building he was residing in the property with<\/p>\n<p>his wife and the deceased Chacko was residing far away from the<\/p>\n<p>plaint schedule property at Kanjiramattam. It is also averred that<\/p>\n<p>the defendant&#8217;s mother died when he was about 4 years old.<\/p>\n<p>While his father was living as a widower, he happened to come in<\/p>\n<p>contact with the lst plaintiff Aley, who is a widow having two<\/p>\n<p>daughters, and married her. After the marriage, the lst plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>came to know that late Chacko was a T.B. patient and therefor<\/p>\n<p>she left Chacko and started living with one Mathai, who is also a<\/p>\n<p>widower having children.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 -3-<\/span><br \/>\nA.S.No.707\/1999<\/p>\n<p>             3. The evidence in this case consists of depositions<\/p>\n<p>of PW1, DW1 to DW4, Exts.A1 to A4 and X1 and X2.\n<\/p>\n<p>             4. The lst plaintiff is the 2nd wife of deceased Ouseph<\/p>\n<p>Chacko. According to the lst plaintiff, the 2nd plaintiff is the<\/p>\n<p>daughter born to her and Chacko. Chacko died on 30\/5\/1972.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, the plaintiffs and the lst defendant are the legal<\/p>\n<p>heirs entitled to inherit the property of deceased Chacko. It is the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs&#8217; case that the lst plaintiff has married Chacko on<\/p>\n<p>30\/5\/1960 and the marriage was in existence till the death of<\/p>\n<p>Chacko. Ext.X1 is the photocopy of the marriage register of<\/p>\n<p>Holy Cross Church. In Ext.X1 register, the marriage between lst<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff and Chacko was registered and the same was endorsed<\/p>\n<p>as Serial No.65. From the evidence on record, it is seen that sthe<\/p>\n<p>lst plaintiff is the legally wedded wife of Chacko and the 2nd<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff daughter was born to them in the wedlock. The trial<\/p>\n<p>court held that they are entitled to inherit the property belonged<\/p>\n<p>to the deceased Chacko. The trial court also considered the<\/p>\n<p>contentions of the lst defendant in detail including the contention<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                -4-<\/span><br \/>\nA.S.No.707\/1999<\/p>\n<p>of adverse possession and limitation.       According to the lst<\/p>\n<p>defendant, his father was a T.B. patient for more than 10 to 20<\/p>\n<p>years, that he was not able to do any work and so according to<\/p>\n<p>him, he is in exclusive possession over the plaint schedule<\/p>\n<p>property and even if the plaintiffs are found to be the legal heirs<\/p>\n<p>of Ouseph Chacko, they are not entitled to inherit the property.<\/p>\n<p>Ext.A3 is the copy of the sale deed executed by the lst defendant<\/p>\n<p>in favour of third party. The recitals in Ext.A3 would go to show<\/p>\n<p>that the lst defendant has alienated the property as the legal heir<\/p>\n<p>of the deceased Chacko. The trial court considered the evidence<\/p>\n<p>and rightly held that there is absolutely no evidence to show that<\/p>\n<p>the possession of the lst defendant was exclusive one as against<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiffs.  I   find that the evidence adduced by the lst<\/p>\n<p>defendant is not sufficient to take a different conclusion. There<\/p>\n<p>is absolutely no evidence to show that he had ever possessed the<\/p>\n<p>property adverse to the interest of the plaintiffs. The trial court<\/p>\n<p>also observed that the mere statement that the property has been<\/p>\n<p>in possession and enjoyment for long time by a party is not at all<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 -5-<\/span><br \/>\nA.S.No.707\/1999<\/p>\n<p>sufficient and that there must be clear, definite and specific<\/p>\n<p>evidence to prove exclusive possession adverse to the interest of<\/p>\n<p>the real owner. Having failed to prove that he is enjoying the<\/p>\n<p>property adverse to the other co owners, the trial court held that<\/p>\n<p>the possession of the lst defendant over the property was also for<\/p>\n<p>the interest and benefit of the other legal heirs, namely, the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiffs in the suit. The trial court issued a direction that at the<\/p>\n<p>time of allotting the shares in the final decree proceedings, the<\/p>\n<p>property alienated by the lst defendant shall be allotted to his<\/p>\n<p>share.\n<\/p>\n<p>             5. The lst defendant has a definite case that since his<\/p>\n<p>father was a T.B. patient, he has improved the property by<\/p>\n<p>effecting cultivation and constructed the house situated in the<\/p>\n<p>property and is living therein with his family.<\/p>\n<p>             6. The property is available for partition.        It is<\/p>\n<p>submitted by the learned counsel for the plaintiffs that they have<\/p>\n<p>conveyed their 2\/3 share in favour of the third plaintiff. But the<\/p>\n<p>sale deed was not produced before the court. In the light of the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 -6-<\/span><br \/>\nA.S.No.707\/1999<\/p>\n<p>fact that the plaintiffs had alienated their 2\/3 share to the 3rd<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff and for the reason that they had only alienated their<\/p>\n<p>share over the property and for the further reason that they had<\/p>\n<p>not conveyed any right over the residential building in question, a<\/p>\n<p>modification of the decree and judgment is proper and just in the<\/p>\n<p>circumstances.\n<\/p>\n<p>            The appeal is partly allowed. The plaint schedule<\/p>\n<p>property is liable to be partitioned except the residential building.<\/p>\n<p>To that extent the preliminary decree is modified. The 2\/3 share<\/p>\n<p>shall be allotted to the 3rd plaintiff subject to the production of<\/p>\n<p>sale deed before the final decree court. The residential building<\/p>\n<p>shall be allotted to the share of the lst defendant. There will be<\/p>\n<p>no order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                              HARUN-UL-RASHID,<br \/>\n                                                    Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>kcv.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                   -7-<\/span><br \/>\nA.S.No.707\/1999<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Ouseph vs Aley on 19 October, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM AS.No. 707 of 1999(B) 1.
