MARWARI KUMHAR vs BHAGWANPURI GURU GANESHPURI

The Supreme Court upheld the trial court's decree favoring the Marwari Kumhar Community, affirming that the Respondents, as Pujaris, had no ownership rights over the suit property. The Court ruled that the earlier judgment was binding, and the Respondents failed to establish adverse possession or that the suit was barred by Order 2 Rule 2 of the Civil Procedure Code. The Court confirmed that the suit was within the limitation period and the Nokarnama was valid despite the loss of original documents.
