Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that under Section 100 of the Civil Procedure Code, the High Court cannot reverse concurrent findings of fact unless they are deemed perverse. The Court found that the High Court failed to frame a substantial question of law as mandated by Section 100 CPC, which invalidated its judgment. The Court restored the findings of the trial court and lower appellate court, confirming that the defendant had acquired bhumiswami rights due to long uninterrupted possession, and that the appellant was not in possession of the land.
