Judgment :- Appellant is the plaintiff in O.S.103 of 1977. Plaintiff filed the suit for partition claiming share in the suit property from defendants 1 and 2 her brothers. Parties are Christians governed by the Travancore Christian" Succession Act, 1092, M.E. Plaintiff contended that at the time of her marriage in 1958 no Streedhanam or ornaments were given to her, that she continued to be in joint possession of the family property and that she is entitled to separate possession of 1/3 share. Defendants 1 and 2 refuted the allegations in the plaint and contended inter alia that plaintiff has no joint possession of the plaint schedule property and that the suit is barred by limitation. 2. The trial Court by judgment dated 30-3-1992 held that the plaintiff was not given Streedhanam or gold ornaments at the time of her marriage, that she has been in joint possession of the plaint schedule property and that she is entitled to a share in it. Lower Appellate Court confirmed the finding of the trial Court that the plaintiff was not given Streedhanam or ornaments at the time of her marriage but held that she cannot claim any share in the property along with her brothers and her claim can only be limited to the amount which she is entitled to by way of Streedhanam and the case was remanded to the trial Court. After remand the plaint was amended and it was converted as a suit for money claim for Rs.5,000/-. The trial Court decreed the suit by judgment dated 13- 2-1984. Against that, defendants filed A.S.97 of 1985. The Principal Sub Judge, Parur allowed the appeal and dismissed the suit having found that the plaint claim is barred by limitation. 3. Learned counsel for the plaintiff submitted that plaintiff's claim of the Streedhanam amount cannot be said to be barred by limitation in view of S.10 of the Limitation Act. Counsel maintains that as the Streedhanam amount due to the plaintiff was not paid by defendants they should be deemed to be holding the properly on trust and if that be so the suit is not barred by limitation. It is also urged by him that plaintiff should be construed as a co-owner till the amount due to her has been paid and on that score also the suit is not barred by limitation. 4. It is also urged by him that plaintiff should be construed as a co-owner till the amount due to her has been paid and on that score also the suit is not barred by limitation. 4. S.28 of the Travancore Christian Succession Act allows the plaintiff only a sum of money which is fixed as 1/4 of the value of the share of a son or Rs. 5,000/-whichever is less. S.28 states that without prejudice to the provisions of S.161hemale heirs mentioned in group (1) of S.25 shall be entitled to have the whole of the intestate's property divided equally among themselves, subject to the claims of the daughter for Streedhanam. It also states that the Streedhanam due to a daughter shall be fixed at one-fourth the value of the share of a son or Rs. 5,000/-whichever is less. The section also makes the position clear that any Streedhanam promised but not paid shall be a charge upon the property. Thus, from a reading of S.28 it can be discerned that the plaintiff is entitled to 1/4 of the value of the share of a son or Rs. 5,000/-whichever is less. As S.28 has made the position explicitly clear that any Streedhanam promised but not paid shall be charged upon the property and as the statute does not in any way indicate that the unpaid Streedhanam amount would have the character of a trust, S.10 of the Limitation Act cannot have any application. Even in the matter of implied trusts S.10 of the Limitation Act has no application as it refers only to trusts for a specific purpose, implied trusts or obligations in the nature of trusts do not come within the purview of S.10. In view of S.28 of the Travancore Christian Succession Act plaintiff can seek only enforcement of the charge on the property and cannot invoke S.10 of the Limitation Act. As the period of Limitation is 12 years to enforce payment of money secured by a mortgage or otherwise charged upon immovable property (vide Art.62 of the Limitation act) the lower appellate Court was justified in holding that the suit is barred by limitation. 5. There is hardly any evidence to accept the contention of the plaintiff that the property is held in trust by the brothers for the unpaid Streedhanam amount. 5. There is hardly any evidence to accept the contention of the plaintiff that the property is held in trust by the brothers for the unpaid Streedhanam amount. From the provisions of the Travancore Christian Succession Act it cannot be held that the property has become vested with the defendants in trust for any specific purpose so as to hold that S.10 of the Limitation Act applies and consequently the suit is not barred by limitation. 6. Plaintiff's contention that she continues to be a co-owner along with her brothers as she was not paid Streedhanam amount is not tenable. As S.28 clearly envisages that she can enforce only a charge upon the properly, i t is not possible to accept I her contention that she has co-ownership right along with her brothers. In Eleesa v. Aeliya and another (1947 TLR 285) the Court held that the Streedhanam claim is only a claim for money and not a claim for share. InLe v. Lilly (1966 KLT 636) a Division Bench of this Court held that under S.28 of the Travancore Christian Succession Act Streedhanam is a claim for money and not a claim for a share of the property of the intestate. Except for a money claim charged upon the property, plaintiff cannot advance a contention that she is a co-owner along with defendants 1 and 2. Merely because Streedhanam remained unpaid plaintiff does not become a co-owner. There is no merit in the Second Appeal and hence it is dismissed confirming the judgment and "decree of the lower appellate Court. No costs.
