Judge framed four issues and finally held that, as per the release deed, the plaintiffs have released only 2/15th share and have not released their entire share in the suit property. Therefore, with respect to the remaining share of the plaintiffs, there is no valid release in favor of defendants 1 and 2 and their mother. Accordingly, the release deed is only for 2/15th share, and it is selfacquired property of Kuppan, so only 1/15th share of each plaintiff was released. The remaining 2/15th share of each of the plaintiffs, totaling 4/15th share, has not been released. Consequently, the mother and defendants 1 and 2 are jointly entitled to 11/15th share, and both plaintiffs are entitled to a total of 4/15th share (2/15th share each). The court also held that the mother is not entitled to execute the release deed of 1/3rd share, and the said document is valid only up to her share. Thus, defendants 1 and 2 are jointly entitled to 11/15th share, and both plaintiffs are entitled to 4/15th share. Accordingly, the suit was decreed. Since their shares were given, the declaration of relief claimed in another suit in O.S.No.4267 of 2015 was dismissed. Challenging the findings of O.S.No.2478 of 2015, the defendants, aggrieved over the shares allotted to the plaintiffs, have preferred this appeal.
