2. The appellants in these appeals are third parties to the suit frled by respondents/piaintiffs, against the respondents/defendalts ulde OS.No.S1 of 2005 on the file of the III Additional District Judge, Rangareddy District, at LB.Nagar, Hyderabad, seeking partition and separate possession of their share in the plaint schedule property. The said suit was decreed with costs uid.e jud,gment dated 15.11.2010 and directing the partition of plaint schedule properties in two equal shares and allotment of one such share to the plaintiffs and the other share to the defendants. Aggrieved thereby, these appeals are filed contending that they are necessarJr parties to the said suit.

4. After the death of Syed Naseeruddin Hussaini, the plaintiffs demanded partition from the defendants, D1 and D2 who are the wife and son of Syed Pasha Hussaini However, Dl and D2 refused to partitioir oi the properties and instead attempted to sell them. The plaintiffs learned that D1 and D2 had entered into al agreement of sale with D3 in respect of the schedule properfy. In response, the plaintiffs issued a legal notice to D 1 ald D2 on 17 .Ol .2OO5. As the dispute remained unresolved, the plaintiffs filed the said suit for partition, seeking to divide the properties among the legal heirs of Late Syed Ahmadullah Hussaini. Being aggrieved by partition of suit between the plaintiffs and defendalts, the appellants iiled these appeals chalienging the impugned judgment dated 15.11.2O10 directing the partition of plaint schedule properties in two equal shares and alrotment of one such share to the plaintiffs and the other share to the defendants. Hence, these appeals.

1. 5 SKS, J AS_ I 63 t_20I 8_34_20 I 9 decree that could br used to their advanta*e' He averred that the triar court failed to consider the fact that the plaintiffs and defendants had a comrton interest in obtaining a decree, and that they had colluded to achieve this objective. He incessantly contended that the impugled judgment under appea-l rriolated the principles of nafura_l justice, as the trial Court failed to consider the fact that the appellants and other real parties in possession had not been made parties to the suit, and that they had been denied an opportunity to present their case, which comes under crear violation of the princi pre of aud.i arteram partem, which requires that all parties who may be affected by a judgment must be given an opportunity to present their case. Therefore, he prayed this Court to aliow the appeals, setting aside the impugned judgment dated 15.11.2O1O.

8. On the contrary, learned counsel appearing for respondents, vehemently opposed the submissions made by learned counsel for appellants and submitted that the appeals itself are not maintainable as they challenge the preliminary decree passed in the year 2010, whereas, the final decree was passed in the year 2013 and possession ! 6 ;KS, J As-l631-201 ]-3 -2019 was deliver( (l to the respondents in the year 1l( 1t ' He contenclerl t'tat the appellants, who claim to be plct o$ ners' have no ri5,:t to challenge the decree passecl by 'ht' trial Court, a:rd that they ought to have frled clhim petitions in the exe,cirtl cn proceedings instead of appealing agrrir st the prelimin err' decree' He further contended that the pr ryer of the appeiirlrts' is based on sale deeds that arr: vo id and ab.initic,.l.s,theywereexecutedbypersonswh.l]radno exclusi'.'t lights or title over the entire property l e lointed out tbat trr': sale deeds did not contain any recital re larding the 11,:lir r: ry of physical possession of the 1 rnd to C.Divaka ReddY, and that there were no t menlionerl in the sale deed nor any pial annexed to identify ndaries 'or' or loca [iz, rhe sold property. g. ile t-rcessantiy contended that the appellan :s rave not produr:ed lhe origina-l sale deed or proved their cw nership, and 1.hat they have no right to claim the entire l)rc perty as per tb e p -eliminary decree passed by the trieil C lurt. He rarnenleci .hat if the appellants have any claim, thry OU$ht to havt. c_raimed it from their vendors on]y, and nct l-om the decree, holders. He potnted out 7 AS_I631_20t8_34_20 SKS, J t 9 C. Divakar Reddy, the vendor of the appellantr '1-Pu'a,rs' was a party to the suit and did nof fila n" any appeal or counterclaim' He averred that the .*ot re is fatal to the contention of the appellants,, a5 they are not claiming aly ilght from their vendor, and that the alleged vendor,s vendor who got half of the larrd is also not a party to the appeal. He asserted that the appeals are barred by limitation, as they were filed after a lapse of eight years frorn the date of the preliminary decree, and that the appeliants have suppressed material facts, including the passing of the final decree and the execution proceedings, and that this is sufficient ground to dismiss the appeal. i0. In addition, learned counsel for respondents articulated that A.S.No.95 4 of 2Olg was frled by some of the plot owners challenging the preliminary decree passed in O.S.No.S1 of 2OO5 and the salne was dismissed, observing that the appellants have the remedy of filing claim petitions under Order XXI Rule 58 CpC in the execution proceedings pending before the trial Court. He further submitted that E.P.No.29 of 2013 was filed by the respondents, decreed holders, for delivery of possession of the suit properLy, 1 8 SKS, .I AS,1631-201 8-31-2019 whereun,lel the exe share of th respon on 03.05 2 L8 and before the cution Court deiivered possess'i('n lf the dents to an extent of Acs 06']5 Cuntas the appellalts did not file any otljt ctions the executi.on Court' clilming railiff or before over the said small Plots' He asserted that the Plots claim€ d I )Y the of the their ;:i ghi s execut-i:ln Court excluded appella nt' from the delivery of possession' in v ev staY orrle :; Passed bY thrs Court in the aPPeals f'lerl bY the plot or,r'r e rs.

12. Having regard to the rival submissions, and on goilg through the material placed on record, it_. is noted that originally, the plaintiffs frled suit for partition of suit schedule property i.e., in relation to survey No.34, stating that there is a partition deed between the brothers, according to which set of properties were divided into equal shares between them, except for the propert5r in survey No.34 which was in possession of elder brother, whereas, there is a recital in the said partition deed that the fruits of survey No.34 be enjoyed by both sons, in a_lternate years. Therefore, from the date of partition deed they were en3oying the same and after the death of Dl, they claimed partition for the said property but they were denied the same, as such, suit was frled.

13. On going through the partition deed filed by the plaintiffs under Ex.Al, it is seen that there is recital in the said deed with regard to survey No.34 that the brothers would have equal shares and they would enjoy the fruits of tJle said properfy altemately, whereas, the contention of 10 SKS, J AS 1631 20lti 3+ 2019 defenda.nl b 'lore the trial Court was that only to th': e rtent of fmits of t:re propert5r i e , the margo and tamarind rees' the fruits, v c,uld be shared equally and that in t he said partitiorL de:rl it rvas clearly shown that survey N'r'34 is in occupation rl-rcl possession of Dl, therefore' they are er titied for the said ,;hare of property' The recitals in the trar tition deedrvouldclearlyshowthatthe'brothersareharri;lgequal shares of t le property, though the same was r-rrLdt r the possesslon of elder brother. Further, the recitirl s 'vould clearly r:lari .i' that both parties are having equal sl-rare in the said proper l". Therefore, there is no force in the t:cnt:ntion of defenclar t that they were exclusive owner and pos:;essor of the prop''r tv in survey No.34, as such, there is a lsolutely no illegzr.lit in the judgment of the trial Court' ov:r the aspect o' p |lition deed.

14. Re've-ting to the appeals on hand which arr: filed by third par.i:s contending that they are subs:quent purcha.sert and that being so, though they were 'le(essary parties l-o lte suit, they were not made parties as tl re said suit was ia collusive suit of plaintiffs and clefer:dants' Further, tl : t in the year 1979 itself D 1 and D2 solrl t. re said 71, SKS, J AS_163 r_2018_34_20 r9 property to D3 and D3 in turn, sold the same to various purchasers arrd that appellalts purchased the property from the subsequent purchasers of D3. At this stage, it is imperative to note that earlier, some of the subsequent purchasers filed appeal before this Court ui.d.e A.S.No.954 of 2018 whereunder, this Court observed ttrat they are required to file claim petitions before the trial Court instead of preferring appeats, as such, the appellants therein hled claim petitions before trial Court in E.p.No.29 of 2O13 and the record shows that the said claim petitions were dismissed by the trial Court. Further, as seen from the record, it is to be noted that the subject property was purchased subsequent to fiiing of suit ald the claim petitions were dismissed observing that claim petitioners therein were pendente lite purchasers and in the present cases also, some of the purchasers are pendente lite purchasers and they are challenging the partition itself, but there is no such illegality in the judgment of the tr:ia_l Court in this regard, as it is clear that survey No.34 is a joint property. l I I I 72 SKS, J AS r631 110 i8-i 4-2019
