JUDGMENT : Mr. Anant Ramanath Hegde, J. - The defendants are aggrieved by the decree for partition. The admitted genealogy is as under: 2. Basanagouda is the father of the plaintiff. Basanagouda had two wives, namely Hanamavva and Tungavva. Hanamavva was first wife. After the death of the first wife, he married second wife Tungavva. From first wife Hanamavva, he had a son by name Hanamantgouda. From second wife, he had two children, namely, Sanjeev and Tayakka. Tayakka is the plaintiff, Basanagouda is defendant No.1, Tungavva is defendant No.2, Hanamanthgouda is defendant No.3 and Sanjeev is defendant No.4 in O.S.No.22/2011. 3. The daughter from second wife Tayakka has filed a suit for partition claiming 1/5th share in the suit schedule properties. It is her contention that, the properties bearing Survey No.1/5 and 162 are the ancestral properties in the hands of her father Basanagouda and utilizing the income from the ancestral properties, he purchased the properties bearing Survey No.31/1 and 68/1. It is her contention that, she is having 1/5th share in the said properties. It is further pleaded that, item No.5 and 6 of suit schedule properties, namely residential houses, are also the properties inherited after the death of the father of defendant No.1. 4. The trial Court rejected the contention of the defendants relating to the limitation and previous partition held that the suit is in time and also concluded that there is no partition. Aggrieved by the judgment granting 1/5th share to the plaintiff in all the suit schedule properties, the defendant No.3 is in appeal. 5. It is urged on behalf of the appellant that, in the year 1991, there was a partition and in the said partition, the properties are divided among defendant No.1 and his son from the first wife and also the son from the second wife. Thus, it is urged as the partition has taken place in 1991, the plaintiff cannot claim share in the properties. It is also urged that the plaintiff could not have claimed any share because of the bar contained under section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, as Section 6 will not enable the daughter to claim any share, in case partition has taken place prior to 2005. 6. Learned counsel for respondent No.1/plaintiff Sri.Sourabh Mirje would urge that, the contention relating to the previous partition is not established. 6. Learned counsel for respondent No.1/plaintiff Sri.Sourabh Mirje would urge that, the contention relating to the previous partition is not established. In the cross-examination, the defendants have admitted that the arrangement made in the year 1991, reflected in Mutation Entry No.806, is only an arrangement to avail the benefit available to the small holders, as the Government scheme did not enable the big land holders to avail the benefit of the scheme. It is also his contention that, in the written statement the defendants have admitted that there is no partition in the family. It is his further contention that, the written statement would also reveal that the agricultural lands and two residential houses were the ancestral properties in the hands of the defendant No.1 and without there being any proof relating to separate income, the defendant No.1 cannot claim that the properties purchased by him are the self-acquired properties. 7. This Court has considered the contentions raised at the Bar and also perused the impugned judgment and decree. 8. On considering the contentions and perusal of the records, the following points arise for consideration: i. Whether the appellant establish that item Nos.2 and 3 in the Schedule 'A' properties are the self-acquired properties of defendant No.1? ii. Whether the defendant No.3 established that there was a partition in the year 1991? 9. As far as the question relating to the self-acquisition of item No. 2 and 3 of Schedule 'A' properties, the defendant No.1 has not produced any evidence to show that he had independent and separate income other than the income from the ancestral properties, to purchase the said properties. There is no pleading to this effect. Admittedly, item No.1 and 4 properties are the ancestral properties. In the absence of any pleading and evidence to show that defendant No.1 had sufficient income to purchase the properties on his own without the aid of the income from the ancestral properties, this Court is of the view that the plaintiff has made out a case that item No. 2 and 3 properties are purchased from the income derived from item No. 1 and 4 of Schedule 'A' properties. Hence the finding of the trial Court that the item No.2 and 3 properties are also the joint family properties, is very much tenable in law. 10. Hence the finding of the trial Court that the item No.2 and 3 properties are also the joint family properties, is very much tenable in law. 10. As far as the question relating to the previous partition urged by the defendants, it is to be noticed that the said previous partition is not established. In para No.3 of the written statement. Defendants No.1 and 2 have clearly admitted that there is no partition in respect of the suit schedule properties. Defendants No.1 and 2 in the written statement have also stated that Mutation Entry No.806, which speaks about the partition, is not a partition and is only an arrangement to divide the properties to avail the benefits available to small holders. The defendant No.3 in fact has taken a contention that there is already a partition in the year 1991 as reflected in M.E.No.806. In the cross-examination, DW3 has admitted that the said arrangement was made only to avail the benefit from the Government, which is available to the small holders. It is also stated that the mother is not given any share in the alleged partition. This being the case, this Court is of the view that the alleged partition of 1991 is not established. Under the circumstances, the trial Court is justified in holding that the partition has not taken place in the family. 11. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed by confirming the impugned judgment and decree dated 03.09.2015, passed by the Senior Civil Judge, Badami, in O.S.No.22/2011.
