Section 90 Evidence Act | Presumption of Title Deeds Insufficient Without Proof of Ancestral Partition: Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court ruled that the presumption under Section 90 of the Evidence Act cannot validate title to property where ancestral partition remains unproven, even if deeds are over 30 years old. The court emphasized that boundary descriptions alone cannot cure gaps in the title chain, reinforcing the need for strict proof in partition disputes.
