Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Section 100 CPC by reversing the concurrent findings of the Trial Court and the First Appellate Court regarding the plaintiff's title and possession of the suit property. The Court emphasized that the defendant's claim of adverse possession was not substantiated, and the plea of surrender was not established. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment and restored the decree of the Trial Court in favor of the plaintiff.
