SH. SAMSUDDIN RAHMAN vs BIHARI DAS .

The Supreme Court addressed a dispute over land ownership under The Assam Land and Revenue Regulation, 1886, where the plaintiffs claimed title based on possession and accretion from a river, while the defendants asserted ownership through an annual Patta. The trial court initially favored the plaintiffs but was overturned by the High Court, which found the plaintiffs' evidence insufficient. The Supreme Court ultimately held that the absence of statutory law regarding land gained by alluvion in Assam necessitated a civil court's intervention, reaffirming the plaintiffs' claim to the land.
