Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the gift deed dated 18.1.1961, under which the plaintiff claimed ownership, was not duly proved as per the Transfer of Property Act, leading to the dismissal of the plaintiff's suit for possession. The Court emphasized the necessity of proper proof of title in property disputes, affirming the lower appellate court's finding that the plaintiff could not establish ownership. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, upholding the lower court's decision.
