Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the Bombay High Court was justified in interfering with concurrent findings of fact regarding the width of a common road between the parties. The trial Court and appellate Court both concluded that the road was of uniform breadth of 30 feet, and the defendants were ordered to remove encroachments. The Supreme Court upheld these findings, affirming the lower courts' decisions and the plaintiffs' rights to the road's use and access to the well, thereby dismissing the appeal.
