The suit has been filed for partition and separate possession by the daughters of one Subramani, who has been arrayed as 1st defendant in the suit. It is the case of the plaintiffs that the suit properties are jointly purchased by the father, Subramani along with the mother Perumayee. It is further case of the plaintiffs that during the lifetime of their parents, the father and mother executed a settlement deed on 21.05.1999, settling 600 sq.ft in S.No.24/17 in favour of the 3rd defendant, in and by a registered document bearing No.1913 of 1999. Subsequent to the demise of the mother Perumayee, the father has executed the sale deed, conveying a portion of the suit properties to a third party purchaser, minor Arunachalam, who was represented by his guardian and grandfather. The plaintiffs also state that in and by three settlement deeds, all dated 07.07.2010, the father has settled various definite portions of the suit property to the 3rd defendant, 1st plaintiff and the 2nd plaintiff. According to the plaintiffs, after factoring the sale deeds and the settlement deeds executed by the father, the portion of the property of an extent of about 20 cents was available for partition and that it was the share of the mother since the properties were all admittedly jointly purchased by the father and mother. Therefore, the suit for partition was filed.
