#Co-owner Rights

The Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that mere co-ownership of land does not justify restraining construction; plaintiffs must prove actual ouster or tangible prejudice. A minimal 15 sq.m. overlap, without evidence of harm or bad faith, is insufficient to grant an injunction-reinforcing that equitable relief requires clean hands and concrete injury, not just shared title.

Orissa High Court rules that partition suits for joint Hindu family property are not barred by any limitation period, ensuring co-owners retain an indefinite right to seek division regardless of time elapsed. The judgment reinforces that the right to partition is a continuing right under Mitakshara law, unaffected by alienation or succession events.
