Adult coparceners consented to a partition of joint Hindu family property. Which fact can justify reopening the partition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Ratnam Chettiar recognises proved fraud in procuring consent as a basis for reopening a voluntary Hindu family partition. Later changes in value, preference or ownership do not by themselves vitiate the agreed partition.
Option feedback
Option A
Proved fraud in procuring consent can vitiate a voluntary partition.
Option B
Later appreciation alone does not show that consent was improperly obtained.
Option C
A later preference does not undermine the agreement made at partition.
Option D
A subsequent sale of the allotted asset does not by itself invalidate the division.
