Thanks for catching this Rajkumar.

So after the row to be updated is already moved to another partition,
when the next join output row corresponds to the same row which is
moved, that row is now deleted, so ExecDelete()=>heap_delete() gets
HeapTupleSelfUpdated, and this is not handled. So even when
ExecDelete() finds that the row is already deleted, we still call
ExecInsert(), so a new row is inserted.  In ExecDelete(), we should
indicate that the row is already deleted. In the existing patch, there
is a parameter concurrenty_deleted for ExecDelete() which indicates
that the row is concurrently deleted. I think we can make this
parameter for both of these purposes so as to avoid ExecInsert() for
both these scenarios. Will work on a patch.

Thanks Amit.

Got one more observation :  update... returning is not working with whole row reference. please take a look.

postgres=# create table part (a int, b int) partition by range(a);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# create table part_p1 partition of part for values from (minvalue) to (0);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# create table part_p2 partition of part for values from (0) to (maxvalue);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into part values (10,1);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# insert into part values (20,2);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# update part t1 set a = b returning t1;
ERROR:  unexpected whole-row reference found in partition key
