Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the Madras High Court's judgment, which rejected the appellant's suit for ejectment and recovery of possession of property. The Court held that the appellant's claim was flawed as the third respondent was the real owner of the land, having purchased it prior to the appellant's acquisition of the super-structure. The Court affirmed that the suit was not correctly framed against the actual owner, thus upholding the High Court's decision.
