Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the Trial Judge that the plaintiffs, as sons of Panditrao, are the legal heirs entitled to the suit property, which was established as separate property of Panditrao. The Court emphasized that the plaintiffs had been in continuous possession of the land and that the defendants' claims were unfounded. The judgment of the Additional District Judge reversing the Trial Court's decision was set aside, affirming the plaintiffs' right to peaceful possession under the principles of inheritance and property rights.
