Supreme Court: The 3-Judges Bench of Fazl Ali, B.K. Mukherjea and Chandrasekhara Aiyar*, JJ., opined that it agreed with the finding of the Bombay High Court that there was ample material on record from which it could be held that Appellant 1, must have known, when he got the properties under the will of his father, that they were his separate properties, in which his sons had no interest and that with this knowledge he subsequently treated them as joint family properties belonging to himself and his three sons. The Supreme Court further opined that after considering the evidence, there was no scope for saying that Appellant 1 was not aware of his rights about the properties that he got under the will of his father and that he was labouring under a mistaken belief all along that they were all joint family properties.
