Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the title dispute over land in Mouja Durganagar, affirming the plaintiff's ownership and right to recover possession under the principles of property law. The Court held that the defendants, who claimed to be thika tenants, had no legitimate tenancy rights as they were found to have trespassed and manipulated records. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, reinstating the trial court's decree in favor of the plaintiff, thereby confirming the validity of the plaintiff's title and the erroneous nature of the defendants' claims.
