Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the admissions made by the respondent in earlier proceedings were unequivocal and relevant under Section 18 of the Evidence Act, which states that admissions are relevant evidence. The appellate court's finding that the admissions were conditional was deemed cryptic and insufficiently explained. The trial court's decree was upheld, emphasizing the importance of admissions in establishing ownership and management of the business in question, leading to the reversal of the appellate court's decision.
