BECHAN PANDEY & ORS. vs DULHIN JANKI DEVI & OTHERS

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding a land dispute, affirming the High Court's decision that the appellants failed to prove the identity of the land purchased by Mina Kuer in 1935, as required by the doctrine of waiver and acquiescence. The Court held that the onus was on the appellants to establish the connection between the disputed land and the auction purchase, which they did not fulfill. The request for remand was rejected, emphasizing the need to conclude prolonged litigation, as many original parties had died, and it was unreasonable to prolong the dispute.
