Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the High Court confirming the District Court's decree that the respondents became absolute owners of the land after 60 years from the date of the possessory mortgage under the Evacuee Interest (Separation) Act, 1951. The Court found that the original mortgagor lost title to the land, which could not be declared as evacuee property. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's ruling without interference.
