Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the lower courts' decision granting possession of 7/8th share of land to the plaintiffs, citing the Hindu Succession Act and the compromise agreement under Section 488 CrPC. The Court found that Harmel Kaur's sale of the land was invalid as she was only entitled to a 1/8th share, and the plaintiffs, being the legal heirs of Gurdial Singh, were entitled to the remaining share. The appeal by the defendants was dismissed, affirming the plaintiffs' rights to the land.
