Article 127 Limitation Act | Partition Suit Limitation Begins Only Upon Explicit Denial of Coparcenary Rights: Karnataka HC

Karnataka High Court rules that the limitation period for a partition suit under Article 127 of the Limitation Act commences only when a coparcener's right is clearly denied, not upon the ancestor's death or prior litigation. The court emphasized the need for evidence-based adjudication, distinguishing it from Article 113, and reinforcing the protection of coparcenary rights in joint family property disputes.
