objections filed by the said brother Bernardo Xaviour de Carvalho and Mario Carvalho. The objectors have stated in the said paragraph 2 that the deceased owned a piece of land admeasuring 5481 square metres at Panaji and after the sales effected out of the said land, a balance area of approximately 1223 square metres is remaining. It is on the basis of the said statement that the appellant seeks to contend that there is still the said asset of the deceased which is available and which could be the matter of the Inventory Proceedings. Insofar as the said asset is concerned, it is required to be noted that by Gift Deed dated 29/12/1973, 1/14th of the said property was gifted to the appellant. The donors i.e. the parents of the appellant along with the appellant herein formed a partnership firm under the name and style of M/s. Carvalho Real Estate wherein each of them brought their respective shares to the said property as an asset of the firm. It is required to be noted that after her marriage, the appellant decided to opt out of the partnership firm on payment of Rs.35 Lakhs and signed a Deed of Retirement and Reconstitution on 10/02/1989. It appears that by the Will dated 02/06/1989, which is the last Will and Testament of the parents, the parents had desired that the appellant and her husband's entitlement to any claim to be restricted to the said amount of Rs.35 Lakhs and that there would be no other or further claim in the estate of the deceased. It is on the touchstone of the aforesaid material that the Trial Court has dropped the Inventory Proceedings.
