Municipal Tax Records + Defendant Admission = Sufficient Proof of Title in Partition Suits | Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court has ruled that when defendants admit the deceased’s ownership, municipal tax records alone can establish legal title in a partition suit - even without registered deeds. This empowers daughters and other legal heirs to assert inheritance rights using accessible public records, lowering the burden of proof in property disputes where formal documentation is lacking.
