The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jayaramappa, holding that the suit property was his self-acquired, not ancestral. The property, originally part of a joint family, was partitioned in 1986, and Jayaramappa purchased it from his brother Thippeswamy in 1989 using personal funds and a loan. Plaintiffs, Jayaramappa’s children, filed a suit claiming the property was ancestral, but the Court found no evidence that the property was acquired through joint family income. The Court also clarified that the doctrine of blending did not apply, as there was no clear intention to abandon separate rights. Since the property was self-acquired, the sale to Chandranna was valid. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court’s judgment was set aside.
