Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the Commissioner and the High Court, confirming that the appellants were the rightful owners of the lands in question, specifically Survey Nos. 284/1, 286, 291/A, 292/2, 283, and 291/B. The Court found that the two gift deeds from 1970 were invalid, thus affirming the original landholder's ownership. The Court dismissed the appeals, stating that no interference was warranted as the issues were factual determinations made correctly by the lower courts.
