Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the appellant, having entered the suit property as a tenant, is estopped from denying the title of the plaintiff-trust under Section 116 of the Indian Evidence Act. The Court found that the appellant's admission of being a tenant and the trust's prior possession for over 12 years established the trust's ownership. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the decree of the trial court that favored the trust's claim for possession.
