Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of the land grant to the appellant by the Collector was invalid as it was done without notice and the appellant had complied with the necessary payment under the Redemption of Mortgage (Punjab) Act, 1913. The Court emphasized that the provisions of the Act were not properly applied, and the appellant's possession was upheld. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, restoring the decree for possession in favor of the appellant.
