He attested brother’s sale deed; HC cites oral partition, family loses 3.5 acres claim

The children of a family have lost their legal claim over 3.5 acres of ancestral land, retaining only 50 cents following a High Court ruling. The legal dispute centered on property rights after one brother attested to another brother's sale deed.

In its decision, the High Court cited an oral partition of the property to determine the outcome. The ruling resulted in the family losing the vast majority of their contested land claim.
