one Kovvuri Tatareddy. Thus, by 1943, the plaintiff’s husband was enjoying the entire plaint ‘A’ schedule by personally cultivating the same. He was also in possession and enjoyment of the house property described in the plaint ‘B’ schedule as his separate and absolute property. As such, after the death of the husband of the plaintiff, the plaintiff had taken possession of all his properties and enjoyed them till her estate in the properties was enlarged as per the provisions of the Hindu Succession Act.
