Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed a dispute regarding the possession of a house, where the respondents claimed the appellant was a mere licensee after the revocation of the license. The Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the concurrent findings of the trial court and appellate court, which had dismissed the respondents' suit. The Court emphasized that the appellant's long-standing possession and the joint mutation of the property indicated a legitimate claim to half ownership, thus upholding the lower courts' decisions.
