JAGANNATH KASHINATH PATIL vs NARAYAN BALU GAIKER

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision confirming the trial Court's decree for the removal of unauthorized construction by the appellant on a plot of land. The Court found that the respondent, as a successor to his maternal grandmother's estate, had lawful title and possession of the property, supported by the mortgagee's delivery of possession. The Court held that the appellant's claim of title was unsubstantiated, leading to the dismissal of the appeal and an order for the appellant to remove the offending structure within three months.
