Case Note & Summary
The case involved multiple civil appeals concerning property disputes among family members. The Supreme Court heard the appeals and dismissed Civil Appeals No. 3111 of 1995 and 4352 of 1999, affirming the High Court's findings without interference. In Civil Appeal No. 6935 of 2000, the parties reported a settlement outside of court, leading to the withdrawal of the appeal. However, in Civil Appeal No. 2615 of 2001, the Supreme Court criticized the High Court for not adequately considering the facts of the case and for allowing cross objections without addressing the core issues of alienation and partition of Tarwad family property. The Supreme Court allowed this appeal, set aside the High Court's judgment dated 20th November 2000, and remitted the case back to the High Court for a thorough examination in accordance with the law. The court ordered no costs in any of the appeals.
