Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's observation regarding unchallenged findings was correct, as the appellants did not contest this in their Leave Application or Special Leave Petition. The Court ruled that the contention regarding Shamsher Singh's ownership of only a share of Chandan Singh's estate could not be raised for the first time in the Supreme Court, considering the long history of litigation and the absence of the principal parties. The Court emphasized the need to conclude this protracted dispute, given that key litigants had passed away, thereby upholding the High Court's decision.
