Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Kerala High Court's decision granting a perpetual injunction to the respondents, who had acquired title to the property through a court auction sale under OS No. 262/1955 and subsequent delivery of possession. The Court emphasized that a purchaser at a court auction obtains true ownership through the sale certificate and that the lower courts failed to properly consider material evidence regarding possession. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling without identifying any substantial legal error.
