Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Marwari Kumhar Community had established their title over the Dharamshala property, rejecting the claims of the heirs of Ganeshpuri based on adverse possession and limitation. The Court emphasized that the earlier judgment, which recognized the Community's rights, was binding and that the Respondents' claims were not substantiated by sufficient evidence. The Court upheld the trial court's decree in favor of the Community, affirming their right to perform religious functions and use the property as before.
