As per case facts, the plaintiffs (wife and children of deceased G. Nageswara Rao) sought partition of ancestral properties from the defendants (brothers of G. Nageswara Rao). They challenged registered ... partition and settlement deeds executed during G. Nageswara Rao's lifetime as fraudulent and non-binding, arguing inequitable shares and minor interest. Defendants asserted G. Nageswara Rao willingly participated in the deeds, receiving a cash share. The Trial Court dismissed the suit. The appeal to the High Court challenged this dismissal, reiterating claims of fraud and minor's prejudice. The question arose whether plaintiffs are entitled to partition and if the deeds are fraudulent, allowing reopening of partition. Finally, the High Court ruled that plaintiffs failed to prove fraud or prejudice to the minor with cogent evidence. The Court affirmed that fraud requires specific pleading and proof, upholding the Trial Court's findings and dismissing the appeal.
