The said Cherian Joseph sold a certain extent of land measuring approximately 3,100 sq. m. to M/s. Hospital Equipment Systems, a partnership firm wherein the first petitioner and his wife were partners. The said land was subsequently sub-divided as S.F. Nos. 38/1C and 49/3B. Thereafter, the partnership firm was dissolved, and the first petitioner became the absolute owner of the property. Out of the total extent of 3,100 sq. m., the first petitioner developed an extent of 2,025 sq. m. into apartments, selling the same along with corresponding undivided shares of land (UDS) to 40 apartment owners; consequently, the joint patta stands in the name of the first petitioner along with the other apartment owners.
