In this episode, we delve into the Supreme Court of India's recent judgment in the case of Smt. Uma Devi & Ors. vs. Sri Anand Kumar & Ors. (2025), a significant dispute involving partition and limitation laws in ancestral property.

The Court revisited the principles governing oral family settlements, the importance of registered sale deeds as constructive notice, and the scope of limitation for claims challenging long-standing property arrangements. This judgment reinforces the legal position that delay in asserting rights over immovable property, especially after registered transactions, can bar a suit for partition and possession. Join us for a detailed analysis of how the Supreme Court applied Order 7 Rule 11 CPC and limitation laws to dismiss a suit filed decades after an oral partition and several registered sales.
